Inspirational quote by me of the day – Samoa cookies are key to a good and prosperous life. Okay, I’m sure you know I’m only kidding but there has got to be some bit of truth to that doesn’t there :)? I spend a lot of time on Pinterest and notice a lot of inspiration quotes so I though I’d just throw my own in there. In my opinion the best Girl Scout cookie that has ever, and probably will ever be created is the Samoa (to be honest, I think I’ve only ever tried the Samoa and the thin mints because I’m too in love with the Samoa’s to ever have the desire to buy another kind – but I already know I won’t like the other ones better. I just know). These cookies have been on my sugar cookies to make list for at least a year. I love sugar cookies and how versatile they can be. They are nearly as versatile as cupcakes so I’m surprised there aren’t hundreds more variations on them. This recipe is based off two Samoa inspired desserts I’ve already posted, so basically I just brought those two together to create these lovelies. I adapted them from my favorite Frosted Sugar Cookies and from a more recent post, my Samoa Cupcakes. They are two recipes that were meant to collide, for sure. If you like Samoa cookies then you are most definitely going to love these! How could you not with their soft, Lofthouse sugar cookie style texture, their rich caramel frosting along with a generous sprinkling of perfectly toasted coconut, and plenty of chocolate drizzling to pair with that finishing touch of a decadent caramel sauce? Yes, do enjoy!
