Chocolate Caramel Coconut Cookies (Slightly Better For You) - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 cup pitted prunes
    6 1/2 teaspoons water
    1 cup butter, softened
    1 cup honey
    2 large eggs
    1 tablespoon vanilla extract
    3/4 cup cocoa powder
    1 teaspoon baking soda
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    2 cups all-purpose flour
    24 individually wrapped caramels, unwrapped
    1/4 cup sweetened flaked coconut
Preparation
    Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
    Blend prunes and water together in a blender until smooth. Beat prune puree, butter, and honey together in a bowl until smooth; beat in eggs and vanilla extract.
    Slowly beat cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt into prune mixture; add flour and mix until dough comes together. Divide dough into 24 portions; form 1 dough portion into a ball around 1 caramel. Repeat with remaining dough and caramels. Place finished balls 2-inches apart on prepared baking sheets. Sprinkle coconut over dough balls.
    Bake in the preheated oven until golden and set, about 10 minutes.
