Description
Delightful no-bake cookies with toasted coconut, soft caramel, and rich chocolate—perfect for cozy gatherings or treating yourself.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1 cup soft caramel candies (about 20 pieces)
- 2 tablespoons milk (or heavy cream for richer flavor)
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil (or butter)
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Toast the coconut: Spread the shredded coconut on a dry skillet over medium heat. Stir frequently until golden brown and fragrant (about 5–7 minutes). Once toasted, transfer to a plate to cool.
- Melt the caramel: In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the caramel candies and milk. Stir continuously until smooth and creamy. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla and a pinch of salt.
- Combine coconut & caramel: Pour the toasted coconut into the caramel mixture and mix well until the coconut is fully coated and deliciously sticky.
- Shape the cookies: Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, drop mounds of the coconut-caramel mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Use your fingers to gently flatten and shape into rounds.
- Melt the chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil. Heat in 20-second intervals, stirring after each, until the chocolate is melted and smooth.
- Dip & drizzle: Dip the bottom of each cookie into the melted chocolate, placing them back on the parchment. Drizzle the remaining melted chocolate over the tops for that extra touch of indulgence.
- Set & serve: Refrigerate the cookies for 15-20 minutes until the chocolate is firm. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for longer freshness.
Notes
These cookies store well in the refrigerator for several days. Feel free to customize with nuts or different types of chocolate.
