Ingredients
-
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
-
1 cup brown sugar
-
1/2 cup granulated sugar
-
2 large eggs
-
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
-
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
-
1 teaspoon baking soda
-
1/2 teaspoon salt
-
1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips or chunks
-
1/2 cup soft caramels (cut in halves or whole, unwrapped)
-
1 cup shredded sweetened coconut
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
Cream butter and sugars together in a bowl until light and fluffy.
-
Add eggs and vanilla, mixing until combined.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add to the wet mixture.
-
Stir in chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
-
Scoop a ball of dough, flatten slightly, place a caramel piece in the center, and cover with another small scoop of dough. Seal the edges to enclose the caramel completely.
-
Roll the top of each cookie in shredded coconut and place on the baking sheet.
-
Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until edges are golden. The centers will be soft and gooey.
-
Let cookies cool for 5 minutes on the pan before transferring to a wire rack.
✅ Tips for Best Results
-
Use soft, chewy caramels (like Kraft or Werther’s soft variety).
-
Toast the coconut slightly for extra flavor before rolling.
-
For cleaner centers, chill the dough balls before baking.
