Everything you love about Samoas, but with cinnamon sugar and dulce de leche. I mean, I mean?!?! Does that not sound awesome or what??? Alright so here’s the deal. It’s Friday and I think I have legit made over forty recipes this week, and well, I can’t deny that I’m feeling a little beat…but not horribly so. Oddly I am still happy and excited, and yes, I even want to continue cooking and photographing. I had kind of a rough day on Wednesday, but I went into Thursday with a new mindset that I am hoping to carry on throughout the day. Like bring on the last day of the week, I am SOO ready for you. OKok and I’m maybe ready for a few cookies too. I made ZERO chocolate this week. It was about all things savory and colorful…I think. To be honest, I can’t even remember everything I made. I’d have to go back and go through photos to tell you if there was chocolate. Which would take hours, like no joke, so let’s just chat about these cute and delicious cookies. Mmm, k? Cool!
SOO. These cookies are just like everyone’s favorite Girl Scout cookie, but instead of the same old caramel we’re using Mexican Dulce de Leche. YESS. Dulce de Leche…aka the bestest kind of caramel goodness around. AND that’s not all. Those buttery shortbread cookies? Yeah, those get rolled through a little cinnamon sugar just as they come out of the oven. So think churro, meets chocolate coconut cookie. Really, the only words that best describe these cookies are simple. SO GOOD… So, So, So Good!
They are really sweet, sweeter than most desserts I typically make because they have cinnamon sugar and caramel. But it’s still cool, cause they are just that good, and because it’s Friday. And on Friday, especially this Friday, I just feel like we need something extra, extra sweet, sinful and just amazing. Plus, I feel like a really good treat is a must today since it’s my cousin Abby’s birthday. Which also means… celebration time. Typically I would make a cake, but Abby is BIG on the Mexican food scene, so I felt like Samoas were much more fitting. Eeerrr, well? Truth is, I had another post in mind for today that I had promised Abby would go up on her birthday, but I just didn’t have the recipe ready to go in time. It needs some tweaking on my end, so next Friday. Sorry about that Abby, BUT I mean, I know you’ll appreciate these cookies. Again… cinnamon sugar, Dulce de Leche, coconut and chocolate.
Now can we all just give Friday a giant fist pump?!?! ? And then make some KILLER Samoas cookies?!?!?
And then eat them ALL?!?! Please, please, please?! Let’s start the weekend off right. ? PS. Abby, hope you have the bestest of birthdays. Eat some damn good Mexican and then finish it off with these homemade Mexican Samoas Cookies. Get your sweet roommate (yes, you Sarah) to make them for you. And Sarah, don’t forget to put a candle in there too. DO IT 🙂 ?
