Samoa Ice Cream Sandwiches

Soften and spread into a 9x13 pan and freeze.

Cut into circles using same size cutter as the cookies. Keep frozen until serving time.

Preheat oven to 350F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment or nonstick foil.

Cream butter and sugar. Add flour, baking powder and salt. Add vanilla and milk. Only add a little milk at a time just to help dough come together. U don't want to add too much and make it sticky. Roll dough 1/4" thick and cut out circles. (NO cookie cutter? just use a glass upside down) Then u will want a smaller cutter for the center. If u don't have one, try using a straw or skip this part because the filling covers a lot of the center anyway! Bake 12-14 minutes or until lightly golden brown. Cool completely.

Melt the chocolate chips gently and dip each cookie. Ley on wax paper. I dipped the entire cookie but you can dip just the bottoms if you prefer.

Preheat oven to 300 degrees and spread coconut on a baking sheet. Bake it and toss often until lightly toasted and golden -about 15-20 minutes. Cool on baking sheet, stirring occasionally. Set aside.

Place caramels, salt and cream in microwave safe cup and nuke until melted and smooth about 3mins. When smooth, stir in the toasted coconut.

Using a small spoon or spatula, spread the topping on the still wet cookies. Use any extra chocolate to drizzle across the top! Then u can set in fridge to speed the process of everything firming up.

Place ice cream round between 2 cookies and serve immediately. (Do not freeze or coconut topping will get too hard.)
