FAQ:

Can I make the cookies without the hole in the center?
Yes! If you prefer not to make the hole, simply cut out full circles of dough and top them with the caramel-coconut mixture.

Can I use store-bought caramel for the topping?
While homemade caramel gives the best flavor, you can use store-bought caramel sauce if you’re short on time. Just be sure to add the toasted coconut to it for the signature texture.

How can I make the chocolate drizzle more uniform?
Use a piping bag or a Ziploc bag with the tip cut off to drizzle the chocolate more evenly across the cookies.
