- 1 cup unsalted butter softened
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup packed brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 ½ cups shredded sweetened coconut
- 1 cup caramel sauce
- ½ cup semisweet chocolate chips
- ¼ cup heavy cream
Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Make the dough: In a large bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs and vanilla extract and mix until fully incorporated.
Add dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this mixture to the wet ingredients and mix until a dough forms.
Add coconut: Stir in the shredded coconut until evenly distributed.
Shape the cookies: Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Flatten each dough ball slightly with your hands, then use your thumb to create a small well in the center of each cookie.
Fill with caramel: Spoon a small amount of caramel sauce into the well of each cookie. Be careful not to overfill.
Bake the cookies: Place the cookies on the prepared baking sheets and bake for 15–18 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the cookies are firm.
Make the chocolate drizzle: While the cookies bake, melt the chocolate chips and heavy cream together in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth.
Drizzle with chocolate: Once the cookies have cooled slightly, drizzle the melted chocolate over the top of each cookie.
Cool and serve: Allow the cookies to cool completely before serving to let the caramel and chocolate set.

For extra coconut flavor, toast the shredded coconut in a dry pan over medium heat until golden before mixing it into the dough.

To make them more indulgent, add a pinch of sea salt on top of the chocolate drizzle for a sweet-salty twist.
