Add the shredded coconut and stir frequently for 3\u20135 minutes until golden brown. Remove from the heat and let cool completely.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Prepare the Cookie Mixture:<\/strong> In a large bowl, combine the crushed vanilla sandwich cookies, softened cream cheese, caramel sauce, vanilla extract, and toasted coconut.
