GERMAN CHOCOLATE COOKIES



German Chocolate Cookies image

While a big slice of German chocolate cake may appeal to many, baking one from scratch may not. That's where these cookies come in. They satisfy the craving for deep, dark pools of warm chocolate, sweet pecans and fragrant coconut with only a fraction of the work. To toast the coconut, spread it out on a baking sheet and bake at 350 degrees for 5 to 10 minutes. Take it out of the oven when the edges and some of the coconut in the center are deep golden brown. It's fine if some of the coconut is still pale.

SUNNY'S GERMAN CHOCOLATE CAKE COOKIES



Sunny's German Chocolate Cake Cookies image

from Sunny Anderson of Food Network...these are AMAZING! They are slightly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. My family LOVED them! It is very important that you use the parchment paper on your cookie sheets. It helps your cookies to not spread too much and to not stick to the cookie sheet!

GERMAN CHOCOLATE CAKE COOKIES RECIPE - (4.6/5)



German Chocolate Cake Cookies Recipe - (4.6/5) image

Provided by gmasusan

Number Of Ingredients 19

Chocolate Cookie
2 sticks butter, softened
1 cup light brown sugar
1 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 large eggs, beaten
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
Pinch salt
German Chocolate Frosting
1 cup evaporated milk
1 cup sugar
3 egg yolks
1/2 cup butter
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/3 cup sweetened shredded coconut
1 cup chopped pecans
Optional: 1/4 cup chocolate candy coating, melted for drizzle

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper. In a stand mixer or large bowl using a hand mixer, blend the butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, vanilla and eggs. In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt. Gradually add the flour mixture into the butter mixture and blend until combined. Drop the dough by tablespoonful onto the prepared baking sheets, 12 cookies per sheet, and bake 8 to 10 minutes. Cool on a baking rack. German Chocolate Frosting Add evaporated milk, sugar, egg yolks, butter and vanilla to a large pan and place on stovetop over medium heat. Stir so that it becomes well combined. Continue stirring until thickened, this takes approximately 11-12 minutes. I set my time for 11 minutes and 30 seconds, this seems to work every time. Once thickened remove from heat and add coconut and pecans. Beat until thick enough to spread. Spread frosting over the tops of cooled cookies. Optional: Drizzle with melted candy coating and let set up. Top with white chocolate heart. See note. Note: I melted some pink chocolate candy coating, put it into a Ziplock lunch baggie, snipped off a small corner. Then on some wax paper drew hearts with the chocolate. I let them harden, then gently placed them on top of the cookies. A great decoration for upcoming Valentine's Day.
