Homemade Samoas: Irresistible blend of chocolate, caramel, coconut, and shortbread cookies.
Ingredients:
  • 2 cups butter, softened
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour, divided
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • 2 tablespoons vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon milk
  • 4 cups sweetened flaked coconut
  • 22 ounces caramels (such as Kraft® Caramel Bits)
  • 1 pound chocolate (such as CandiQuick®)
Instructions:
  • In a bowl, cream together butter, white sugar, and salt. Stir in 2 cups of flour. Then mix in 1 more cup of flour until a sticky dough is formed.
  • In a bowl, whisk together egg, vanilla extract, and milk. Beat in the remaining flour until dough forms. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • Take a small piece of dough and roll it out into a 1/4-inch thick round on a lightly floured surface. Place the round on the baking sheet, and continue with the rest of the dough in the same way.
  • Bake cookies until lightly golden and soft for 8 to 10 minutes in a preheated oven. Then, cool completely on a wire rack.
  • Toast coconut in a large skillet over medium heat until golden brown, stirring frequently, for 2 to 4 minutes.
  • Melt caramel bits in the microwave, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth, about 2 minutes. Mix in coconut. Spoon caramel-coconut mixture onto each cookie.
  • Melt chocolate in the microwave in 30-second intervals until smooth (about 60 seconds total). Dip cookie bases in melted chocolate, place on parchment paper to set, then drizzle tops with chocolate.
