Ready for a fun spin on an old favorite? These gooey Stuffed Samoa Cookies hit all the right notes. They take the yummy taste combo of the famous Samoa cookie but make it even better. Imagine biting into a soft, buttery cookie packed with coconut flakes and chocolate bits, then finding a surprise caramel center oozing out. Each one gets a fancy chocolate drizzle on top. They're super chewy with just the right amount of coconut crunch—a real treat for anyone with a sweet tooth.

INGREDIENTS
  • Unsalted butter: 1 cup, room temperature to make the cookies nice and soft
  • Brown sugar: 3/4 cup, packed, giving these a chewy texture and caramel-like taste
  • Granulated sugar: 3/4 cup, for the right amount of sweetness
  • Vanilla extract: 1 tsp, to add a nice background flavor
  • Egg: 1 large, helps everything stick together
INSTRUCTIONS
Step 2:
Add the egg and vanilla extract, mix until smooth, then slowly pour in flour, baking soda, and salt.
Step 1:
Beat the room temperature butter with both sugars until it looks pale and fluffy.
Serving and Storage Tips
  • You can keep these in a sealed container for up to 5 days, though they taste best when fresh.
  • Pop the dough in the fridge before handling it so it won't spread too much during baking.
Helpful Notes
  • Make sure your caramel center is wrapped up tight so it doesn't leak while baking.
  • Try making your own caramel sauce for an extra special flavor kick.

Tips from Well-Known Chefs

  • Chef Tip: Cool your caramel a bit before wrapping it in dough. It's way easier to work with when it's not too runny.
Perfecting Your Samoa-Inspired Cookies

These cookies nail the mix of textures—soft, gooey, and a little bit crunchy all at once. Spring for good quality chocolate and coconut and you'll really taste the difference. Nobody can turn these down at parties.

Why This Recipe Stands Out

These Stuffed Samoa Cookies really deliver for coconut and caramel lovers. They've got that homemade magic that beats the original any day. Bake them for school sales, holiday platters, or just when you need something sweet.

FAQs

Can I use store-bought caramel?

Sure thing! The stuff from the store works fine, though homemade caramel tastes a bit more special.

Can I freeze the cookie dough?

You bet. The dough balls freeze well for up to 2 months. Just bake them whenever you want fresh cookies.

Do I need to toast the coconut?

You don't have to, but toasting brings out a nuttier flavor that many people love.

Can I add extra chocolate?

Go for it! Throw in more chocolate chips or add an extra chocolate drizzle on top if you're a chocoholic.

Yield: 24 Servings (24 gooey cookies)

Dietary: Vegetarian

Ingredients

01 1 cup of softened unsalted butter, for tender, rich cookies.
02 3/4 cup of white sugar, for that perfect sweetness.
03 3/4 cup of packed brown sugar, adding chewiness and a caramel touch.
04 1 large egg, holding everything together.
05 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, giving a deeper flavor.
06 2 1/4 cups of all-purpose flour, making the base for the cookies.
07 1 teaspoon of baking soda, helping the cookies puff up.
08 1/2 teaspoon of salt, balancing the sweetness perfectly.
09 1 cup of shredded coconut, for texture and a Samoa flair.
10 1 cup of chocolate chips, for gooey chocolate bites.
11 1 cup of caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade), for that melty center.
12 1 cup of chocolate chips (to melt), used for the chocolate drizzle.

Instructions

Step 01

Mix softened butter with brown and white sugars in a large bowl until it's fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla, stirring until smooth. In a separate bowl, combine salt, baking soda, and flour. Slowly combine the dry mix with the wet ingredients, stirring until it's mixed. Fold in the chocolate chips and shredded coconut.

Step 02

Wrap the dough in plastic and refrigerate it for at least 30 minutes to firm it up.

Step 03

Turn your oven on to 350°F (175°C) and get a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Step 04

Scoop out around one tablespoon of dough and flatten it. Put a little caramel sauce and a couple of chocolate chips in the center. Fold the dough over the filling and roll it into a ball. Space the cookies about 2 inches apart on your prepared sheet.

Step 05

Pop the cookies into your preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the sides are just golden. Let them cool completely on the sheet before moving them to a wire rack.

Step 06

Microwave the extra chocolate chips, pausing every 30 seconds to stir. When melted, drizzle the chocolate over your cooled cookies for that final touch.

Step 07

Wait a few minutes for the cookies to set, then dig into these coconutty, chocolatey delights!

Notes

  1. These are Samoa-inspired treats, featuring coconut, caramel, and chocolate in every bite.
  2. Chilling keeps the cookies from flattening too much in the oven.
  3. Using homemade caramel sauce makes these even more indulgent.
