Ingredients
The following ingredients have 13 Servings
- 3/4 cup butter, room temperature
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 1/4 cups flour
- 1 tsp cornstarch
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- 6 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 3 tbsp butter
- 3 tbsp water
- 3 tbsp butter
- 11 oz bag of Kraft Caramels, wrappers removed
- 2 1/2 cups toasted coconut
Instruction
- Prepare a 9 inch cake pan with parchment paper in the bottom and grease the sides. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. You could also use a springform pan instead.
- Cream butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
- Mix in eggs and vanilla extract.
- Add flour, cornstarch, baking soda and baking powder and mix until well combined.
- Press cookie dough into an even layer in the cake pan.
- Bake for 19-21 minutes. The center of the cookie will still look a little undercooked, but that’s ok. Remove from oven and allow to cool completely in pan, then remove from pan.
- Once cookie is cool, make the chocolate ganache. Place chocolate chips, heavy cream and butter into a microwave safe bowl and microwave for about 30 seconds to a minute, until cream starts to boil and butter begins to melt.
- Whisk chocolate until completely melted and smooth. Microwave for a few more seconds, if needed.
- Set aside about 1/4 cup of the ganache and spread the rest on top of the cookie cake.
- To make the caramel mixture, add water, butter and caramels to a pot and melt over medium heat until smooth.
- Reserve about 1/4 of the toasted coconut, then stir the rest into the melted caramel mixture.
- Spread the caramel coconut mixture on top of the chocolate ganache.
- Sprinkle the rest of the toasted coconut on top of the caramel mixture and lightly press it into the caramel.
- Drizzle the rest of the chocolate ganache over the top of the coconut and caramel.
- Allow the caramel to cool, then serve. You can serve it while it’s still a little warm, if you want the caramel a little more gooey and melty, or serve it completely cooled. It’ll still be gooey when cooled, as well.
