Ingredients
Scale
- 3 sticks unsalted butter softened
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 3 large eggs lightly beaten
- 12 ounces sweetened flaked coconut
- 1 bag (about 14 ounces) soft caramel candies
- 6 tablespoons heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons flaky sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a large bowl, use a mixer to beat together the softened butter and sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Then, mix in the vanilla and salt.
- Gradually add the all-purpose flour while mixing on low speed until just combined.
- Shape the dough into 1-inch balls using your hands.
- In one small bowl, place the lightly beaten eggs. In another bowl, place the coconut.
- Dip each dough ball in the egg, then roll it in the coconut.
- Arrange the balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Make an indentation in each ball using your thumb or the back of a spoon.
- Bake for 10 minutes, remove from the oven, and re-press the indentations using caution since the cookies are hot.
- Return the cookies to the oven for another 10 minutes or until they are golden brown.
- Let cool on a wire rack.
- In a saucepan over low heat, combine the unwrapped caramels and heavy cream. Stir constantly until melted and smooth.
- Spoon the caramel mixture into the cookie indentations and sprinkle with flaky sea salt.

Ensure the butter is softened to room temperature for better mixing.
Allow cookies to cool completely before adding the caramel to avoid melting it too quickly.
Feel free to add more flaky sea salt on top for an extra salty kick.
