I love Samoa Cookies and sometimes I just can't wait till the next Girl Scout Cookie Season to roll around again to buy a box of these. Thankfully I found the recipe to make them until the Girl Scouts appear again. Thanks to chasingtwilight on http://www.gourmetmomonthego.com/ for this recipe. I look forward to making them and I hope you will too. Check out the Gourmet mom on the go site too, they have some great recipes.
Homemade Girl Scout Samoas Cookie Recipe
Ingredients
1 box shortbread cookies
6 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup light corn syrup
1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1-4 cups toasted coconut (depending on how much you want)
1 cup chocolate chips
Directions
(Optional) To make handling easier you can dip the bottoms of the cookies in melted chocolate first and let them sit to thoroughly dry. Place each shortbread cookie in cup of a greased muffin tin. In 2-quart saucepan over medium-low heat, combine butter, sugar and corn syrup. Heat to a full boil, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon. Boil 3 minutes, stirring constantly. Slowly pour in sweetened condensed milk, stirring constantly. Continue cooking over low heat until candy thermometer reaches 200-210 degrees. Remove from heat. Stir in vanilla. Beat until creamy. Immediately stir in toasted coconut and mix well. Spoon mixture by teaspoonfuls over shortbread cookies. Cool completely. Remove cooled cookies from muffin tin onto waxed paper. Melt chocolate chips and drizzle thinly in stripes over cookies and let chocolate harden at room temperature. Store in airtight container
