Method:
Beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add vanilla essence. Mix in flour, baking powder and salt. Turn the dough out onto a work surface and form into a disc. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least one hour. Roll cookie dough to 1/4-inch thickness on a lightly floured surface and cut dough into 2-inch circles. Transfer cookie dough to prepared baking sheets. Bake cookies at 180 degrees C for 15-18 minutes, until lightly browned at the edges. Cool on the baking sheets for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
To make the Coconut-Caramel Sauce, stir fry coconut flakes in a pan until coconut is lightly browned. Remove from heat. Heat sugar in a pan stirring often so the sugar does not burn. Once all the sugar has dissolved and the liquid is dark amber in color, remove it from the heat. Pour in the cream and whisk constantly until the mixture stops bubbling and becomes smooth again. Whisk in the butter until melted and combined. Use a small offset spatula or the back of a spoon to spread a thin layer of warm caramel over each cookie. Pour 1 cup of the remaining caramel over the toasted coconut and stir to coat. You want the coconut to be just lightly coated with caramel. Use your offset spatula or spoon to spread the coconut mixture over the caramel layer of each cookie. Chill the cookies. Melt the chocolate and stir in oil to thin it out. Carefully dip the bottoms of each cookie in the chocolate mixture and place on a baking sheet. Let chocolate set up before serving.
