Ingredients

Scale
  1. For the Cookies:
    • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
    • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
    • 2 cups all-purpose flour
    • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
    • 1/4 teaspoon salt
    • 2 tablespoons milk
    • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

    For the Topping:

    • 3 cups shredded sweetened coconut
    • 12 oz soft caramels
    • 3 tablespoons milk
    • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips, melted

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
  • Add the flour, baking powder, and salt, mixing until combined. Gradually add the milk and vanilla extract, forming a soft dough.
  • Roll out the dough to 1/4-inch thickness and use a round cookie cutter to cut out shapes. Use a smaller cutter to create the center hole of the Samoas.
  • Place the cookies on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes or until lightly golden. Let the cookies cool completely on a wire rack.
  • For the topping, spread the shredded coconut evenly on a baking sheet and toast it in the oven for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden.
  • In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the caramels with the milk, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth.
  • Stir the toasted coconut into the caramel mixture. Spread the caramel-coconut topping over each cookie.
  • Dip the bottom of each cookie into the melted chocolate and drizzle chocolate over the top. Allow the cookies to set on a wire rack until the chocolate hardens.

Notes

  • Ensure the cookies are completely cooled before adding the caramel and chocolate topping to prevent them from melting.
  • You can adjust the chocolate coating based on your preference, dipping just the bottom or drizzling more on top.
