Ingredients

COOKIES

  • sticks Butter Softened
  • 2 cups Sugar
  • 2 Eggs whole
  • 3 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
  • 2 cups Flour
  • ¾ cups Cocoa Powder
  • teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 2 cups Mini Semi-sweet Chocolate Chips

TOPPING

  • ½ cup evaporated milk
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 egg yolk large
  • 4 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup sweetened shredded coconut heaping
  • ½ cup pecans chopped
  • 2 oz semisweet chocolate melted

Instructions

FOR THE COOKIES

  • Preheat the oven to 350-degrees. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • In a mixer, cream the butter and sugar together.
  • Add the eggs and the vanilla and beat to combine.
  • Sift in all the dry ingredients, adding a little at a time.
  • Fold in the mini chocolate chip cookies.
  • Use a cookie scoop to portion out the cookie dough.
  • Bake for about 10 minutes until they are just done - they will look like they need more time.
  • Let the cookies cool on the tray for 5 minutes before moving to a wire rack to cool.

FOR 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.
  • 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.
  • While the topping cools, melt the chocolate.
  • When the cookie cups are cool enough, drizzle chocolate over each.
