    If you love chocolate, then this is a recipe you need to have saved! I used the cookie recipe from my Chocolate Chocolate Chip Mummy Cookies. They are chewy and so good!

    Then added the yummiest topping with toasted coconut and chopped nuts, then drizzled them with dark chocolate and caramel sauce!

    Let me show you how to make them.

    🧂 Ingredients

    • Butter
    • Sugar
    • Eggs
    • Vanilla Extract
    • Flour
    • Cocoa Powder
    • Baking Soda
    • Salt
    • Mini Semi-sweet Chocolate Chips
    • Evaporated milk
    • Sweetened shredded coconut
    • Pecans
    • Semisweet chocolate

    This is meant to be a brief overview of the German Chocolate Cookie recipe. For step-by-step instructions and a full printable recipe card with ingredients, please scroll down to the teal box below or Jump to Recipe.

    🔪Instructions

    1. Preheat the oven to 350-degrees. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
    2. In a mixer, cream the butter and sugar together.
    3. Add the eggs and the vanilla and beat to combine.
    4. Sift in all the dry ingredients, adding a little at a time.
    5. Fold in the mini chocolate chip cookies.
    6. Use a cookie scoop to portion out the cookie dough.
    7. Bake for about 10 minutes until they are just done - they will look like they need more time.
    8. Let the cookies cool on the tray for 5 minutes before moving to a wire rack to cool.
    9. To make the topping, combine the evaporated milk, granulated sugar, egg, and butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook until it thickens, stirring frequently. It should take 5 to 10 minutes.
    10. Remove the pan from heat and stir in the vanilla, coconut, and pecans and let cool. Then spread it on top of the cookie cups.
    11. While the topping cools, melt the chocolate.
    12. When the cookie cups are cool enough, drizzle chocolate over each.

    I told you they were easy - and oh so decadent! It's kind of a mix between a cookie, and a brownie, and German chocolate cake. The nuts add a nice crunch and a savory element while the coconut and caramel complement the dark chocolate. You will not be able to eat just one.

        hi Colleen, you'll find the full recipe here, but it makes about 36 cookies. These bake at 360-degrees F for about 10 minutes.
