Make It Now Cooking Directions

These directions are for cooking this recipe to serve immediately and NOT to freeze for later.

1. In a mixing bowl, cream together butter and sugar.
2. Mix in flour, baking powder and salt #1 at a low speed, followed by the vanilla and milk #1, adding in the milk as needed to make the dough hold together without being sticky.
3. Roll the dough to about 1/4-inch thickness and use a cookie cutter to make rounds.
4. Place on a parchment lined baking sheet and use the end of a wide straw to cut a small center hole.
5. Bake cookies at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes, until bottoms are lightly browned and cookies are set.
6. Cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
7. Decrease oven heat to 300°F.
8. Spread coconut evenly on a baking sheet (preferably one with sides) and toast 20 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes, until coconut is golden.
9. Cool on baking sheet, stirring occasionally. Set aside.
10. Place the caramels in a microwave-safe bowl with milk #2 and salt #2.
11. Cook on high for 3-4 minutes, stopping to stir a few times to help the caramel melt.
12. When smooth, stir in toasted coconut.
13. Spread topping on cooled cookies, using about 2-3 tsp per cookie.
14. While topping sets and cools, melt chocolate in a bowl. Heat on high in the microwave in 45-second intervals, stirring thoroughly to prevent scorching.
15. Dip the base of each cookie into the chocolate and place on a clean piece of parchment paper.
16. Transfer all remaining chocolate into a piping bag or a quart-size freezer bag with the corner snipped off and drizzle finished cookies with chocolate.
