Preheat the oven to 350° Fahrenheit or 180° Celsius.

In a medium bowl, add the shredded coconut and yoghurt together, and then mix them with a spoon.

Add the egg, vanilla, salt, and lemon zest and continue mixing.

In a separate bowl, combine flour, butter, and powdered sugar together using your hand. You can either work with butter that's at room temperature, or one directly taken from the fridge, but it's easier to work with butter that's at room temperature.

Once the flour, butter and powdered sugar are thoroughly combined, add all the ingredients together.

Continue mixing with your hand until all the ingredients are well combined into a solid cookie-dough ball.

Prepare a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.

Take about a tablespoon of the cookie dough. Roll it into a ball and then as you place it onto the cookie sheet, press it with your palm into a flat circle.

Apply the same process for each cookie.

Bake your cookies for about 22-25 minutes.

Cool them off for about 15-20 minutes and enjoy with a cup of tea or milk.
