Directions

1. Step1
   Preheat oven to 325 degrees. In a large bowl beat butter, sugar and salt until well blended. Beat in vanilla. Gradually beat in flour until combined. Roll out dough into a 16-by-4-inch (1/2-inch thick) rectangle. Cut into 32 (1/2-inch wide) strips. Place strips about 1 inch apart on ungreased cookie sheets. Bake for 20 to 22 minutes or until bottoms are lightly browned. Cool on wire rack.

   Spread half the cookies with Creamy Vanilla Frosting; sprinkle with coconut. Spread remaining cookies with Creamy Chocolate Frosting; sprinkle with chopped peanuts, pressing to adhere. Drizzle with caramel ice cream topping.
