Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Cookie Base
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
Toppings
  • 1 cup shredded toasted coconut
  • 1 cup caramel candies
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup dark chocolate chips

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Stir in the vanilla.
  3. Gradually add the flour and salt, mixing until a dough forms.
  4. Roll the dough into balls and flatten them into rings on the prepared baking sheet.
Baking
  1. Bake the cookies for 12-15 minutes or until lightly golden. Cool on wire racks.
Topping
  1. In a saucepan, melt the caramel candies with heavy cream over low heat, stirring until smooth.
  2. In a separate bowl, melt the dark chocolate chips.
  3. Dip cooled cookies into the caramel mixture, then sprinkle with toasted coconut.
  4. Drizzle with melted chocolate and allow to set before serving.

Notes

Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week or freeze for up to three months. Toasting the coconut enhances the flavor. Ensure cookies cool completely before dipping them in caramel to avoid a sticky situation.
