Ingredients

Cookies

  • 13.25 oz box german chocolate cake mix
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Topping

  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 egg yolk room temperature
  • 1 ½ cups unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 1 cup chopped pecans
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Chocolate drizzle

  • 7 oz melting wafers
  • 1 Tablespoon vegetable oil

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, pour in the german chocolate cake mix, make a well in the center and add in the melted butter and start to stir using a rubber spatula.
  • Gently add in one egg at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  • Incorporate the vanilla extract and the chocolate chips.
  • When everything is thoroughly mixed, grab your reserved baking sheet and drop the cookies by rounded Tablespoon or 1 ½ Tablespoon cookie scoop.
  • Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are set.
  • When they are finished, carefully place the cookies on a rack to cool, about 20 minutes.
  • While the cookies are cooking, prepare the topping.
  • In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
  • Whisk together the sweetened condensed milk and egg yolk in a small bowl until well combined.
  • Slowly add the milk mixture into the melted butter, whisking constantly until combined.
  • Bring the mixture to a boil and then remove from the heat.
  • Stir in the coconut, pecans and vanilla extract.
  • Keep the topping in the fridge until the cookies are cool, at least ½ hour. Topping will continue to thicken in the fridge.
  • When the cookies and frosting have cooled, spread the topping over each cookie and prepare your chocolate drizzle.
  • Place your melting wafers in a microwave safe dish. Using 15 second intervals, mix wafers until they become completely melted. Do not overheat.
  • Thin chocolate out to desired consistency using vegetable oil.
  • Drizzle warm chocolate over cookies using the back of a spoon or a frosting bag with a small tip.
