Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 large egg (room temperature)
- 2 cups unsweetened coconut flakes
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- ½ cup caramel sauce
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, cream together softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar for about 3 minutes until fluffy.
- Gradually mix in all-purpose flour on low speed until just combined to form a soft dough. Avoid overmixing.
- Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes to prevent spreading during baking.
- Roll out the chilled dough to about ¼ inch thickness and cut into circles with a cookie cutter, making small holes in the center of each circle. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.
- Toast coconut flakes in a dry skillet over medium heat until golden brown; mix with caramel sauce until coated.
- Spread caramel-coated coconut on each cookie base and drizzle melted chocolate on top.
