Creating Samoa Stuffed Cookies is a fun and straightforward process. Just follow these simple steps, and you’ll have delicious cookies in no time!

1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C).

2. Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to make for easy cleanup.

3. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

4. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until creamy and smooth.

5. Add Egg and Vanilla: Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.

6. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

7. Fold in Chocolate Chips and Coconut: Gently fold in the chocolate chips and shredded coconut until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

8. Scoop Dough: Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, scoop out portions of the dough and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

9. Create Indentations: Using your thumb or the back of a small spoon, press down in the center of each cookie dough ball to create an indentation.

10. Add Caramel Sauce: Spoon a small amount of caramel sauce into the indentation of each cookie.

11. Cover with More Dough: Take another small scoop of dough and flatten it slightly in your hands. Place it over the caramel on each cookie and pinch to seal.

12. Bake: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until they are lightly golden around the edges.

13. Cool: Remove them from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

14. Add Final Touches: Once cookies are cool, drizzle some additional melted chocolate on top for that classic Samoa look.

By following these steps, you’ll create Samoa Stuffed Cookies that are bound to impress!
