Day 68: Oatmeal Coconut Dark Chocolate Caramel Cookie with Walnuts

Whoot! I found my notebook!!! So on with the show!

Every year for Lent, My Father-In-Law gives up the same thing, sweets. For 40 days he was dreaming of the prefect cookie. I told him I would make anything he wanted and bring it over on Easter Sunday.

One night, while Adam's parents were babysitting, he came up with his perfect Easter Cookie. When I saw the list of ingredients I chuckled a little, then went into planning mode.

I found a bag of caramel bites at the grocery store and though they may work in the cookies. After baking, the caramel tended to get hard again. I would recommend enjoying these cookies shortly after they come out of the oven for the best caramel viscosity gooeyness.
