Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup shredded coconut
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1 cup caramel sauce
Sweeteners:
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
Binding and Flavoring Ingredients:
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips (for melting)
Instructions
- Create a luxurious cookie dough by blending softened butter with granulated and brown sugars until achieving a light, airy texture. Incorporate egg and vanilla extract, mixing thoroughly until uniform.
- Separately combine flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually integrate dry ingredients into wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Gently fold shredded coconut and chocolate chips into the dough.
- Wrap dough in plastic film and refrigerate for 30-60 minutes to enhance flavor development and facilitate easier handling.
- Heat oven to 350F (175C) and line baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Portion dough into tablespoon-sized rounds. Flatten each piece in palm, creating a small depression. Place caramel sauce and chocolate chips in center, then carefully encase filling by folding dough around and rolling into smooth balls.
- Arrange cookie balls on prepared sheet, maintaining approximately 2-inch spacing between each.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes until edges transform into golden-brown perfection. Allow cookies to cool completely on baking sheet before transferring to wire cooling rack.
- Melt remaining chocolate chips using microwave, stirring at 30-second intervals until achieving silky consistency.
- Artfully drizzle melted chocolate across cooled cookies, creating elegant decorative patterns.
- Allow chocolate drizzle to set for several minutes before serving these decadent, caramel-infused delicacies.
Notes
- Adjust the chilling time for firmer or softer cookies, depending on your preference for texture and spread.
- Try different chocolate types like milk, dark, or white chocolate to customize the flavor profile.
- Create a gluten-free version by substituting all-purpose flour with almond or coconut flour for those with dietary restrictions.
- Prevent cookie spreading by ensuring butter is cold and not overly softened during the creaming process.
