I’m so happy because this month out wonderful host choose one of my favorite ingredients delicious soft, chewy, sweet Caramel.
It is in all forms the most versatile and perfect ingredient for a delicious cookie specially when we add coconut and nuts.
This cookies are just perfect with a cold glass of milk or a cup of tea, crunchy not to sweet but with enough caramel flavor to satisfy a demanding audience.

Enjoy.

I see we were on the same wavelength this month, oats and caramel goodness, but I like your addition of coconut. And we both used those caramel bits – aren’t they great?! I’ll have to add this to my must make list.
I’ve just discovered caramel bits and love them!! My only problem is not eating half of them! This sounds like a wonderful flavor combination!
When I saw that first photo, Kathia, I thought you were putting chickpeas in the cookies! Coconut and caramel are a great combination! They look super chewy, which is my favorite kind of cookie.
This is the next cookie I want to make, sounds amazing!!

Coconut is a nice combination for caramel that I hadn’t considered this month. These cookies would be perfect with afternoon tea.

Caramel is my favorite sweet too. But I think with coconut, I might make it my only favorite sweet thing. Great flavors!
