Description

Stuffed Samoa Cookies are a decadent twist on the classic Girl Scout favorite. These chewy cookies are packed with shredded coconut and chocolate chips, filled with gooey caramel, and topped with a rich chocolate drizzle. Perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup shredded coconut
  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • 1 cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 cup chocolate chips (for melting and drizzling)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  2. Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  4. Fold in the shredded coconut and chocolate chips.
  5. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour to firm up.
  6. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  7. Take about 1 tablespoon of dough and flatten it in your palm. Add a small amount of caramel sauce in the center, then fold the dough around the filling, rolling it into a ball. Place each ball on the prepared baking sheet, spacing the cookies about 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack.
  9. Melt the remaining chocolate chips in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the cooled cookies for a decorative and delicious finish.
  10. Let the cookies set for a few minutes before enjoying these chewy, caramel-filled Samoa-inspired treats!

Notes

  • Chilling the dough helps prevent the cookies from spreading too much while baking.
  • For an extra indulgent treat, use homemade caramel sauce in the filling.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
  • Freeze unbaked cookie dough balls for up to 2 months; bake from frozen, adding a couple of extra minutes to the baking time.
