Ingredients

  • ½ cup unsalted butter room temperature
  • ½ cup cane sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 2 tsp cane sugar
  • ¾ cup chocolate coarsely chopped chocolate or chips
  • vegan caramel sauce
  • ¼ cup shredded unsweetened coconut flakes

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper
  • In a mixing bowl, add wet ingredients: butter, vanilla extract, and 1/2 cup of sugar.  Beat with a whisk and mix until combined and fluffy.
  • In a separate bowl, toss to combine the dry ingredients: flour, salt, baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon. 
    Add dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until a dough forms.
  • Use 1 tablespoon cookie dough scoop, and transfer the dough to the prepared baking sheet, separating 1-1.5 inches apart. Press dough down with your fingertips to flatten.
  • In a small bowl, toss to combine the remaining 1/2 tsp cinnamon and 2 teaspoons cane sugar. Generously sprinkle mixture on top of the cookies. 
  • Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown on the edges.
  • While baking, melt 3/4 cup of chocolate in a separate bowl. Melt over a double boiler or in the microwave, mixing in increments. 
  • Remove the cookies from the oven to cool completely, about 7-10 minutes.
    Dip the bottom of the cooled cookie in melted chocolate and place back on the baking sheet. Add 1 teaspoon of caramel sauce, sprinkle coconut flakes on top and then drizzle with extra chocolate. 
  • Store in the freezer to firm up ~ about 10 minutes, or in the fridge for about 15 minutes.
  • Once the chocolate has hardened, enjoy!
    Store cookies in glass Tupperware at room temperature. 

Notes

To add more flavor - Toast coconut flakes before adding them to the cookies.
