Our inspired version requires just 9 ingredients and tastes just like the real thing despite being entirely vegan and gluten-free! Let us show you how it’s done! The steps for making these cookies are a little more involved than our usual, but the ingredients are simple and the result is so worth it! First, we make the shortbread cookie dough using almond flour as the base, maple syrup for sweetness, coconut oil to make them crispy, and vanilla and sea salt for flavor. Next, the cookies are cut into cute little circles and the center is removed with a smaller cookie cutter (or similar-shaped object). This creates the classic shape of Samoas that’s perfect for thoroughly coating in chocolate-coconut-caramel goodness! The coconut-caramel layer is made with full-fat coconut milk and coconut oil for richness, coconut sugar for sweetness and a thicker texture, and toasted shredded coconut for a toasty element. Lastly, the cookies receive a dunk and drizzle of melted chocolate for serious magic in your mouth. We hope you LOVE these Girl Scout-inspired Samoas! They’re:ToastyButteryTenderRichChocolatyCoconutty& Timeless! Store in the fridge or freezer (if they survive that long) for any time a Samoa cookie craving strikes! They’d be perfect with a glass of dairy-free milk or your favorite latte or tea.
