Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
-
In a separate large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
-
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
-
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until a smooth dough forms.
-
Gently fold in the dark chocolate chips.
-
Using a cookie scoop or a spoon, portion out the dough into small balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
-
Flatten each dough ball slightly with the back of a spoon.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, until the edges are set but the centers are still slightly soft.
-
Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
In a small saucepan over medium heat, toast the coconut until golden brown, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
-
Drizzle the caramel sauce over the cooled cookies and sprinkle with the toasted coconut.
-
For an extra touch, garnish each cookie with a Thin Mint candy on top.
-
Let the cookies sit for a few minutes to allow the caramel to set before serving.
