Description

Delicious homemade cookies with a buttery base, topped with toasted coconut, caramel, and chocolate.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup shredded coconut, toasted
  • 1 cup caramel, melted
  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add flour and salt, mixing until just combined. Stir in vanilla.
  4. Press the mixture into the prepared baking sheet evenly. Bake for 15-20 minutes until light golden brown.
  5. Toast the shredded coconut in a skillet over medium heat until golden while the cookie base bakes.
  6. Remove the cookie base from the oven; top with melted caramel and then the toasted coconut. Return to the oven for another 5 minutes.
  7. Melt chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl, then drizzle over the top.
  8. Allow to cool completely before cutting into squares.

Notes

Use unsweetened coconut for a more authentic flavor. Ensure your butter is at room temperature for better creaming.
