Steps:
- To make the shortbread: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Place coconut on a baking sheet, and toast until golden brown, 5 to 7 minutes, stirring halfway through. Transfer the coconut to a cutting board, and finely chop. Transfer to a bowl; set aside.
- Spread the pecans on the baking pan, and toast until fragrant and golden brown, 5 to 7 minutes, rotating pan halfway through. Transfer the pecans to a cutting board, and finely chop. Add to bowl with the coconut.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter and sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy. Add vanilla extract, flour, and salt; beat to combine. Stir in coconut and pecans.
- Form the dough into a disk, and wrap in plastic. Transfer to refrigerator, and chill until firm, 30 to 45 minutes.
- Line 3 baking sheets with parchment paper; set aside. On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough 1/4-inch-thick. Using a 2 1/4-inch fluted pastry cutter, cut out 68 rounds. Place the rounds, spaced 1 inch apart, on the prepared baking sheets. Refrigerate dough 5 to 10 minutes. Using a 3/4-inch round aspic cutter, or the large end of a pastry tip, cut out and discard the centers from 34 cookies, making top halves.
- Bake until golden brown, about 12 minutes, rotating baking sheets halfway through baking time. Transfer cookies to a wire rack, and let cool completely. Store in an airtight container, at room temperature until ready to use
- To make the filling: Place the sugar and 3 tablespoons water in a small saucepan. Set over medium-high heat, and stir to combine. Bring the mixture to a boil, and cook until dark amber in color, about 5 minutes. Use a pastry brush, dipped in water, to wash down sides of pan to prevent crystallization as the mixture boils. Remove saucepan from the heat, and gradually whisk in the cream and butter. Transfer to a medium bowl, and let cool.
- To assemble the cookies: Spoon or pipe about 1/2 teaspoon caramel in the center of each of the bottom halves, and sandwich both halves together. Drizzle remaining caramel over the tops of the cookies. Let the caramel set at least 2 hours, and up to overnight.

- Place racks in upper and lower thirds of oven (or in middle of oven if you have only 1 baking sheet); preheat to 325°. Toast ⅓ cup (47 g) pecans on a rimmed baking sheet (on the upper or middle rack), tossing halfway through, until fragrant and golden all the way through (check by breaking one in half), 10–12 minutes. Transfer to a food processor; let cool. Reserve baking sheet. Keep the oven at 325° for baking the cookies.
- Pulse pecans until very finely ground (be careful not to go too far or you’ll have nut butter). Add 1½ cups plus 2 Tbsp. (188 g) all-purpose flour, 3 Tbsp. sugar, and ½ tsp. kosher salt; pulse once or twice just to combine, scraping down sides as needed.
- (PAUSE: Is your butter cold? It should be straight-from-the-fridge cold.) Cut 1 cup (2 sticks) chilled unsalted butter into ½" pieces, add to food processor, and pulse in 3-second-long bursts, scraping down sides as needed, until dough begins to come together in large clumps. Add ¼ cup store-bought dulce de leche and pulse until dough comes together into a single mass and no streaks remain.
- Transfer dough to a sheet of parchment paper (plastic wrap also works here) and use your fingers to pat it down into a rectangle. Don't worry if it's a bit sticky—it's going to firm up when you chill it—but if you're having trouble, lightly flour your fingers. If the dough is still too sticky to work with, transfer it to the fridge for 10 minutes, or until firm enough to handle. Fold parchment up and over dough and use it to press and roll the dough into a 9" log (about 2" in diameter). A bench scraper will help you shape the dough into a straight, even log, but if you don't have one your hands will work just fine. Roll up tightly and chill 90 minutes, or freeze 20 minutes.
