Mix the flour, sugar and cocoa together, sift onto a work surface, create a well in the center, crack the egg into it and distribute the butter pieces around the well. Using a knife, roughly chop all ingredients into crumbs and quickly knead with your hands into a smooth dough. Shape into a ball and wrap in cling film; refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Meanwhile, roughly chop the chocolate and melt over a hot but not boiling water bath. Stir in the rum, remove from heat and let cool slightly. Remove the cookies from the oven, allow them to cool on a kitchen rack and coat with the chocolate. Sprinkle coconut flakes and let dry.
