First, you'll need the basic shortbread recipe, which you can find here. Just to have it handy, here's a repeat of those ingredients:
1 cup (2 sticks) butter, room temperature
115g (1/2 cup) sugar
250g (2 cups) all purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons milk
Preheat your oven to 350F (180C) and line two baking sheets with parchment or silicone liners. Once your dough is firm enough to roll out without making a big mess, roll dough on lightly floured surface. Once your dough is rolled to about 1/8" - 1/4" thickness, use a cookie cutter to cut out whatever shapes your heart desires. Re-roll the scraps and repeat. Bake 10 - 12 minutes.
For the topping, you'll need:
225g (3 cups) shredded unsweetened coconut, toasted
15-oz soft caramels
1/4 tsp salt
1- 3 tbsp milk (depending on how hard the caramel is)
8 oz. dark or semisweet chocolate
Melt caramels and milk together; stir in toasted coconut. Spread on cooled cookies. Melt chocolate, then dip bottoms of cookies in chocolate, then drizzle chocolate over top.
