Ingredients
2 cups sweetened shredded coconut
10 oz soft caramels
2 tablespoons heavy cream
6 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips
Pinch sea salt (optional)
Instructions
1. Toast the coconut in a nonstick skillet over medium heat, stirring frequently until golden and fragrant (about 5–8 minutes). Let cool slightly.
2. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine caramels and heavy cream. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between, until fully melted and smooth.
3. Mix the toasted coconut into the melted caramel until fully combined.
4. Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of the mixture onto parchment paper and form into cookie mounds.
5. Melt chocolate chips in a separate microwave-safe bowl. Dip the bottom of each cookie into the chocolate and return to the parchment.
6. Drizzle the remaining chocolate over the top of each cookie and sprinkle with sea salt if desired.
7. Let cookies cool and set completely at room temperature or refrigerate to speed it up.
Notes
For deeper flavor, toast the coconut to a rich golden brown but watch it closely—it can burn quickly.
If your caramel is too stiff, add a touch more cream to loosen it.
Use a silicone mat instead of parchment for easier cookie removal and cleanup.
