Ingredients
Scale
- 1 large egg
- ½ cup (113 g / 4 oz) unsalted butter, softened
- ½ cup (100 g) brown sugar
- ¼ cup (50 g) granulated sugar
- 1 cup (125 g) all-purpose flour
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp salt
- ½ cup (85 g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
- ½ cup (85 g) semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips (for drizzle)
- 1 ½ cups (120 g) shredded sweetened coconut
- 1 bag (11 oz / 312 g) soft caramels (about 35 caramels), unwrapped
- 3 tbsps (45 ml) heavy cream
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Toasting Coconut: Warm the oven to 350F (175C) and distribute coconut across a baking sheet, rotating midway through toasting for 5-7 minutes until achieving a rich golden color. Set aside.
- Preparing Cookie Base: Cream butter with brown and granulated sugars using an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add egg and vanilla, blending thoroughly. Incorporate flour, baking soda, and salt, then fold in chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
- Baking Cookie Crust: Press cookie dough into a greased 9-inch pie pan, creating an uniform layer. Bake for 18-20 minutes, monitoring for golden-brown edges. Cool completely at room temperature.
- Creating Caramel Coconut Layer: Melt caramels and heavy cream in a microwave-safe bowl, heating in short 30-second intervals and stirring between cycles until smooth. Integrate toasted coconut into the caramel mixture.
- Finishing Touches: Spread caramel-coconut mixture evenly across the cooled cookie base. Drizzle melted chocolate chips over the top using a spoon or piping bag for an elegant presentation.
Notes
- Toast Coconut Carefully: Watch coconut closely during toasting to prevent burning, stirring midway for even golden color and rich flavor.
- Create Smooth Cookie Base: Press dough evenly into pie pan, using gentle pressure to ensure uniform thickness and consistent baking.
- Melt Caramel Strategically: Use short microwave intervals and stir frequently to prevent scorching, achieving a silky smooth caramel consistency.
- Chocolate Drizzle Technique: Use spoon or piping bag for precise, artistic chocolate lines, ensuring elegant and professional-looking final presentation.
