This has become my new favorite!! These cookie bars remind me of the Samoa Girl Scout cookies. One word: Yum! I made them for my family when they came to visit. They were delicious and a huge hit!
Samoa Delights
adapted from The Taste of Home
1 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup plus 2 Tablespoons white sugar divided
3/4 teaspoon almond extract
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup flaked coconut
1/2 cut sliced almonds
1 jar (12 1/4 oz.) caramel ice cream topping
3/4 cup chocolate chips (I used milk chocolate)
Cream butter and 1/2 cup sugar until fluffy. Beat in the extracts. Add the flour,salt and baking powder and mix well. Press into a greased 9 x13 inch pan.
Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes.
Remove from oven and prick crust with a fork. Sprinkle with remaining 2 Tablespoons of sugar. Bake 15 more minutes or until set.
Meanwhile, place coconut and almonds in a food processor. Process until finely chopped. Transfer to a small bowl.
Stir in ice cream topping.
Spread over the crust.
Bake for 5-10 minutes or until the edges are bubbly.
Allow to cool.
In the microwave melt the chocolate chips, stir until smooth. Spread over the caramel layer. Place in the freezer for a few minutes to set the chocolate.
Cut into bars.
Enjoy!!
