Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup brown sugar packed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 3 cups shredded sweetened coconut
  • 1 cup caramel sauce
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
  • Fold in the toasted coconut until evenly distributed in the dough.
  • Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
  • Once baked, allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • While cooling, melt the chocolate chips over a double boiler until smooth.
  • Top each cooled cookie with a layer of caramel, then drizzle melted chocolate over the top.
