Unsweetened reduces sugar content.

Add flour to a bowl.

Add salt to the flour.

Use salted margarine instead of butter, ensuring it has a nice yellow color.

Grate the margarine and add it to the flour mixture.

Use cold water to form the dough, adding about 6 tablespoons.

Knead the dough until it forms a ball and is smooth.

Wrap the dough in a plastic bag and refrigerate it.

Prepare the filling by mixing grated coconut, sugar, almond extract, vanilla, cinnamon, and mixed spice.

Let the filling rest to absorb the sugar.

Divide the dough into 10 pieces and keep the rest in the fridge.

Roll out one piece of dough at a time to a circular shape.

Press the dough into a muffin tin, ensuring not to overfill with the coconut mixture.
