Ingredients

3 cups sweetened shredded coconut

11 oz soft caramels

3 tablespoons milk

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

optional flaky sea salt (for garnish)

Instructions

1. In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast 3 cups of sweetened shredded coconut, stirring often until golden brown (about 5-7 minutes). Let cool.

2. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 11 oz of soft caramels with 3 tablespoons of milk. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.

3. Mix the toasted coconut into the melted caramel mixture until evenly coated.

4. Using a spoon or scoop, form about 1.5 tablespoon portions and shape into thick rounds on parchment paper. Makes approximately 18 cookies.

5. Melt 1 cup of chocolate chips in 30-second microwave bursts. Drizzle over cookies. Optional: sprinkle sea salt on top.

6. Let cookies set at room temperature or chill for 15-20 minutes until chocolate is firm. Store in an airtight container.

Notes

Toast the coconut gently to avoid burning. Stir constantly.

For a vegan version, use plant milk, vegan caramels, and dairy-free chocolate chips.

Use a piping bag for a cleaner chocolate drizzle effect.
