I love the combination of caramel and coconut in these cookies. They're the perfect balance of sweet and salty.

I'm allergic to nuts, so I substituted chopped pecans for the coconut. The cookies were still delicious!

I love that these cookies can be made ahead of time. I made them a few days before my party and they were still fresh and delicious.

These cookies are a great way to use up leftover egg whites. I always have a few egg whites left over after making other recipes, and these cookies are a perfect way to use them up.

I'm not a huge fan of coconut, but I really enjoyed these cookies. The caramel filling is perfectly balanced and the cookie itself is nice and chewy.

I've tried a lot of copycat Samoa cookie recipes, but this one is by far the best. The cookies are perfectly crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside, and the caramel and coconut filling is amazing.
