3. Cream the butter or margarine and caster sugar until light and fluffy.
4. Mix in the coconut, pecan nuts and crushed crisp rice cereal.
5. Add the flour gradually until a firm, rollable dough forms.
6. Roll out the dough and cut into shapes of your choice.
7. Place on the prepared trays and bake for 12–15 minutes, until lightly golden.
