Girl Scout season is approaching. I love Samoa Cookies and my hubby loves thin mints. He ordered 10 boxes! But my favorite cookie hands down is a samoa! I love the shortbread cookie that gets wrapped in chocolate and topped with caramel and coconut. As I was thinking about a samoa inspired recipe these Samoa Thumbprint Cookies came to mind. I wanted them to represent everything about the classic samoa cookie and wanted to have the delicious caramel coconut right in the center of each bite.
The cookies are made with a delicious buttery shortbread cookie. I wanted to dip the bottom of the cookie in chocolate to represent the cookie even more. The center had the delicious and chewy caramel coconut and then they get drizzled with more chocolate! Everything you love about a samoa cookie in these delicious and cute thumb print cookies. And the best part is that you don’t have to wait until girl scout season to make them! 🙂
