German Chocolate Thumbprint Cookies image

A chewy chocolate cookie topped with a German chocolate icing. Very good, and they freeze wonderfully if you have any left to freeze. Do not substitute canned frosting or you will be disappointed.

Time 46m

Yield 60

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup white sugar
1 cup evaporated milk
½ cup butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 egg yolks, beaten
1 ½ cups flaked coconut
1 ½ cups chopped pecans
1 (18.25 ounce) package German chocolate cake mix
⅓ cup butter, melted

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • In a heavy 2-quart saucepan, combine sugar, milk, 1/2 cup butter, vanilla and egg yolk. Blend well. Cook over medium heat for 10 to 13 minutes or until thickened and bubbly. Stir frequently. Stir in coconut and pecans. Remove from heat and cool to room temperature.
  • Reserve 1 1/4 cups of the topping mixture and set aside. In a large bowl, combine cake mix, melted butter and remaining topping mixture. Stir by hand until thoroughly moistened. Shape dough into 1 inch balls. Place 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet. Using your finger, make an indention in center of each ball. Fill each indention with 1/2 teaspoon of reserved topping.
  • Bake for 10 to 13 minutes in the preheated oven. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.

I'm not a big fan of nuts, so I omitted them from the filling. The cookies were still delicious.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my cookies turned out flat and hard. They didn't look anything like the pictures in the recipe.

The only thing I would change about this recipe is to use a little less sugar. I found them to be a bit too sweet for my taste.
