HOMEMADE SAMOA COOKIES
Experimenting with shortbread cookie recipes, I found a way to create a cookie the not only gives you a melt-in-your-mouth texture, but also retains its shape and doesn't crumble when you pick it up. I ended up making these for Easter weekend to give out as gifts. So far the cookies haven't made it past the 2 hour mark after being opened and left up on a table for consumption. Hope you love these as much as my friends and family do! Enjoy!

Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. A good semisweet or bittersweet chocolate will work well.
- Make sure the coconut is finely shredded. This will help it to distribute evenly throughout the cookies.
- If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can test the caramel by dropping a small amount into a glass of cold water. If it forms a soft ball, it is ready.
- Be careful not to overcook the caramel. If it gets too dark, it will be bitter.
- Let the cookies cool completely before dipping them in the chocolate. This will help the chocolate to set properly.
Conclusion:
These Samoa cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. With their chewy coconut filling, rich caramel, and dark chocolate coating, they are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a special dessert, give these Samoa cookies a try. You won't be disappointed!
