Lay another sheet of baking paper on top and use a rolling pin to roll out to a 7mm thickness. Cut out heart shapes with a small heart-shaped cutter (about 4cm at widest part across). Reroll scraps of mixture and keep cutting until all the mixture has been used. Sprinkle on extra coconut and press on lightly.
