Easy Homemade Samoas Cookies

Now you can have your favorite Girl Scout Cookies year-round! Fudge striped cookies topped with coconut, caramel, and chocolate!
Course: Dessert
Cuisine: American
Servings: 24 cookies

Ingredients

  • 1 (11.75 oz.) pkg. fudge-striped shortbread cookies
  • 1 1/2 c. sweetened shredded coconut
  • 1 (11 oz.) bag caramels unwrapped
  • 3 T. heavy cream
  • 1 c. milk chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Place the fudge-striped cookies on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • In a large skillet, toast coconut over medium heat, stirring constantly until golden brown, about 3-5 minutes Remove from heat and allow to cool.
  • In a large microwave-safe bowl, add caramels and 3 tablespoons of heavy cream. Microwave for 20 seconds, stir and repeat, until the caramels are melted and smooth, about 1-1/2 to 2 minutes.
  • Stir coconut into the caramel.
  • Working quickly, dollop 1 tablespoon of the coconut-caramel mixture onto each shortbread cookie, gently pressing with your fingers to shape, if it gets too sticky, moisten your fingers with water.
  • Melt chocolate chips in a separate microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 15 seconds, stir and repeat, until melted and smooth, about 45 to 60 seconds.
  • Using a pastry bag fitted with a small circle tip, drizzle melted chocolate over each cookie. Allow them to set at room temperature. Now watch the cookies disappear!
