Ingredients
  

Cookie Base
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Apple Filling
  • 2 medium apples peeled and diced
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Coconut Topping
  • 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
  • 1/4 cup chocolate chips for drizzling
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil melted

Method
 

Prepare the Cookie Base
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  2. Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined. Gradually add the flour and mix until a dough forms.
  3. Roll the dough into small balls and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, flattening them slightly.
  4. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let cool.
Make the Apple Filling
  1. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the diced apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, and lemon juice.
  2. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the apples are tender. Remove from heat and let cool.
Assemble the Samoas
  1. Once the cookies have cooled, spoon a generous amount of the apple filling onto each cookie.
  2. In a bowl, mix the shredded coconut with melted coconut oil. Sprinkle the coconut over the apple filling.
  3. Melt the chocolate chips and drizzle over the top of each cookie.
  4. Allow the chocolate to set before serving.
