Provided by Bev I Am

Categories     Bar Cookie

Time 1h25m

Yield 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 cup butter
1 1/2 cups brown sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 large egg
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
2 cups shredded coconut, toasted, divided
1 cup caramel, divided (about 30 individual caramel candies)
1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 tablespoon milk or 1 tablespoon cream

Steps:

  • Toast the coconut: Spread coconut in a 9x13" pan, bake in preheated 300 degree F oven 20-25 minutes or until lightly toasted, stirring half way through baking time.
  • Increase oven temperature to 350 degrees F.
  • In a large bowl, beat butter, sugar, vanilla, and egg, until well blended.
  • Mix in flour, salt, baking powder and 1 1/2 cups toasted coconut (reserving 1/2 cup for topping).
  • Spread mixture in un-greased 9x13" pan, lining with parchment if you desire.
  • Bake for 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile melt 1/2 (1/2 cup) of the caramel in microwave.
  • Drizzle melted caramel over baked crust and return to oven for 10-12 minutes or until medium brown and caramel is bubbly.
  • Removed crust from oven, working quickly, use a heat proof plastic knife (plastic reduces the drag on sticky baked goods), or a bench knife, to loosen the edges of the crust from the pan; cut into 2 dozen bars, leaving them in the pan. (It is easier to cut these bars while still warm).
  • Sprinkle bars with the chocolate chips.
  • Allow chocolate chips to soften about 5 minutes, then spread chocolate evenly over bars.
  • Set aside to cool completely.
  • Loosen the bars from the edge of pan again, using a flexible spatula to lift the bars out of the pan.
  • Set on a rack.
  • Combine remaining caramel with 1 tablespoon milk or cream and heat until caramel is melted enough to pour.
  • Stir to combine with milk or cream, drizzle over the bars.
  • Garnish with reserved toasted coconut.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate. The better the chocolate, the better the cookies will taste. Look for chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking. Chilling the dough will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Bake the cookies at the right temperature. The ideal temperature for baking chocolate coconut caramel cookies is 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Don't overbake the cookies. Overbaking will make the cookies dry and crumbly. Bake the cookies just until they are set around the edges and the centers are still slightly soft.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before serving. This will give the flavors time to meld and the cookies will be easier to handle.

Conclusion:

Chocolate coconut caramel cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They are perfect for any occasion, from a casual gathering to a holiday party. With their rich chocolate flavor, chewy coconut texture, and gooey caramel filling, these cookies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
