Homemade girl scout cookies.....mmmm

I found this recipe, and thought i'd try it for New Years Eve.

Yum.

Here is my process of making these cookies.

First of all, as everyone knows, start with some Joshua Bell music. 

 oh, and than some toasted coconut!

 some wafer cookies (real recipe is on the link above) 

 Caramel and dark chocolate

 You mix the melted caramels and toasted coconut and put on top of the wafer cookie

 freeze the cookie, then dip the bottoms in chocolate. 

(note: i used dark chocolate, but the cookie was too dark chocolaty, so next time i'll use milk chocolate on the bottom and dark chocolate drizzled on top. see below) 

 Place on wax paper and freeze. 

(it is especially nice when its -5 degrees outside. just stick the pan in the garage for 4 1/2 seconds.) 

(just kidding! about 4 1/2 seconds that is. It is -5 degrees outside right now.)

(oh, minor correction. i just checked the weather. its -8.) 

 It's somewhat helpful if you can avoid dropping the chocolate covered spatula all over the stove and floor. (like I did.......)

 Once frozen, drizzle dark chocolate over top of the cookie, and serve at room temperature. 

(i know because i served them frozen and almost chipped everyone's teeth. Thank God for microwaves.) 

Mmmm. Enjoy!!
