Ingredients

• 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
• 1 pinch salt
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 2 tablespoons light cream
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 ½ cups flaked coconut
• ½ cup dark brown sugar

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 2

In a 15x10x1 inch jelly roll pan, spread the coconut out in a thin layer. Toast at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C), stirring and shaking often to toast evenly, until golden about 5 to 7 minutes.

Step 3

In a small sauce pan, mix the sugar, honey, cream, butter and salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the syrup reaches 248 degrees F (121 degrees C) on a candy thermometer (or when a drop or two dropped into a cup of cold water will form a firm ball that will not flatten when removed from water).

Step 4

Remove from heat and stir in the toasted coconut.

Step 5

On a sheet of buttered wax paper, drop level tablespoons of the mixture well apart. Let stand until cold.

Step 6

Melt chocolate chips and drizzle over cookies. Let stand until chocolate hardens. Store in a single layer in an airtight container.
