Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, mix together the flour, shredded coconut, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, cream the softened butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, and mix until fully combined.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until well combined.
  6. Scoop spoonfuls of dough onto a lined baking sheet, leaving space between each scoop.
  7. Drizzle caramel sauce over each cookie.
Baking
  1. Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes until firm around the edges but still soft in the center.
  2. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

Chill the dough for about 30 minutes for thicker cookies. You can substitute caramel sauce with peanut butter or Nutella for variation.
