Ingredients
1 ½ cups sweetened shredded coconut
10 oz soft caramels
2 tbsp heavy cream
20 shortbread cookies
1 cup dark or semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
1. Preheat a dry skillet over medium heat. Add shredded coconut and toast for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring constantly until golden. Set aside to cool.
2. In a saucepan, combine caramels and heavy cream. Heat over low heat, stirring until melted and smooth.
3. Fold the toasted coconut into the melted caramel until fully coated.
4. Arrange shortbread cookies on a parchment-lined tray. Spoon the coconut-caramel mix on each cookie and press gently.
5. Melt chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl or double boiler. Dip the bottom of each cookie in chocolate and return to the tray. Drizzle more chocolate over the top.
6. Let cookies set at room temperature or chill for 15 to 20 minutes until chocolate firms. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
These cookies freeze well—just use parchment paper between layers.
You can use milk instead of heavy cream if preferred.
Shortbread cookie size can vary; adjust topping amounts accordingly.
