Somoas are also known as Caramel deLites, and they are one of the most popular Girl Scout Cookies. The cookie has a buttery and crumbly texture that is perfect with the toppings. I couldn’t count how many pieces I had eaten when I made this at home as it’s so good, but I know I’ve eaten much more than I should have and only left a few pieces for everyone.

How to Make Homemade Samoas

Step 1:

Start by creaming the butter and sugar in a mixing bowl.

Step 2:

Get another bowl and sift together flour, baking powder, and salt.

Step 3:

Add the dry ingredients to the creamed butter and sugar. Mix until well incorporated. It should be crumbly.

Step 4:

Mix in the milk and vanilla. Transfer to a cling wrap and wrap well. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Step 5:

After 30 minutes, roll out the cookie dough and cut out your cookies. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Put inside the oven and bake for about 10 to 13 minutes at 350F. Once done baking, set them aside to cool.

Step 6:

Add the caramel, salt, heavy cream, and vanilla in a heatproof bowl and microwave for 2 minutes. Save 1/4 cup of the melted caramel, then add the remaining to the toasted coconut.

Step 7:

Once the cookie is cool enough to touch, spread the reserved caramel on top, then add a layer of the caramel coconut.

Step 8:

Dip the bottom into the melted chocolate and drizzle the chocolate over the top. Let the chocolate set then it’s ready to serve. Enjoy!
