Samoa Oreo Cookies

You have heard me say it before but I will say it again, I am absolutely obsessed with Samoa Cookies! I like to do different takes on them to change things up a bit!…

Check out my SAMOA PUDDING COOKIES, SAMOA TRUFFLES and SAMOA BROWNIES for a few other tasty options!

These cookies are about as simple as they get. The chocolate cookies are created using a cake mix and the frosting is a simple yet utterly delicious recipe that will wow whoever samples it.  Throw in some Toasted coconut and these cookies are soft, chewy, chocolate-caramely-coconut goodness!
