Description
Easy No-Bake Samoa Cookies are a quick, no-fuss treat that combines the rich flavors of caramel, toasted coconut, and chocolate. These cookies offer all the indulgent flavors of the classic Samoa Girl Scout cookies without turning on the oven.
Ingredients
1 1/2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut (toasted)
1/4 cup unsalted butter
1/4 cup milk
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup chocolate chips (for drizzling)
1 tablespoon coconut oil (for melting the chocolate)
Instructions
- Toast the Coconut: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread shredded coconut on a baking sheet and toast for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally. Set aside to cool.
- Prepare the Cookie Base: Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add milk, brown sugar, sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir constantly, bringing it to a gentle boil. Simmer for 2 minutes, then remove from heat.
- Combine the Oats and Coconut: In a large bowl, combine oats and toasted coconut. Pour the caramel mixture over the oats and coconut, stirring to coat evenly.
- Shape the Cookies: Line a baking sheet with parchment or wax paper. Scoop 1-2 tablespoons of the mixture, roll into a ball, and flatten it into a round shape. Repeat for all cookies.
- Chill the Cookies: Refrigerate the cookies for at least 30 minutes to set.
- Prepare the Chocolate Drizzle: Melt chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth.
- Drizzle the Chocolate: Once the cookies have set, drizzle melted chocolate over each cookie using a spoon or piping bag.
- Serve and Enjoy: Let the chocolate harden slightly before serving, or chill until the chocolate is fully set.
Notes
For a nutty twist, add chopped almonds, pecans, or walnuts to the cookie base.
For a peanut butter flavor, add a tablespoon of peanut butter to the caramel mixture.
For a darker chocolate version, use dark chocolate chips for the drizzle.
These cookies can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or frozen for up to 2-3 months.
