Cookies

Today I made some cookies.

I saw the recipe on Pinterest and tried them out. They are delicious.

Here is the recipe

Homemade Samoa Girl Scout Cookies

Prep Time: 2 hours

Cook Time: 15 minutes       Makes 3 dozen 2 inch cookies

Ingredients for cookie:

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature

1/2 cup sugar

2 cups all-purpose flour

1/4 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 Tablespoons milk

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Cut out a round cookie and cut out center. Bake at 350 for about 10 minutes or until light golden. Do not over bake. (Next time I might just keep solid, it was very putsy putting the caramel coconut on around the hole.)

 

For the coconut topping:

3 cups shredded sweetened coconut

Bake for 10 minutes in 350 oven turning often with a fork to brown evenly. This can burn quickly so keep an eye on it.

 

Caramel:

15 ounces store-bought or homemade soft caramels

3 Tablespoons milk

Melt until smooth.

Take 1/4th of the amount to the side and pour the rest over the toasted coconut.

Spread the 1/4th onto the cookie and then the coconut w/caramel on top of that. The layer of caramel will act like glue. Move fast as this cools quickly. This goes faster with 2 people working together. If you need to, reheat to continue working.

Chocolate for bottom and top drizzle:

8 ounces dark chocolate or semisweet

Melt and coat the bottom and drizzle over the top.

They will look like this and taste pretty good too. :) Have a good weekend!
