Ingredients
Chocolate Cookie
- 1 cup butter softened
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 3/4 cup light brown sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
- 2 eggs
- 2 1/4 cups all purpose flour
- 2/3 cup cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Chocolate Layer
- 3/4 cup milk chocolate chips
German Chocolate Topping
- 2/3 cup evaporated milk
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 3/4 cup sweetened shredded coconut toasted
- 1/3 cup pecans chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350º F
- In a large mixing bowl combine butter, brown sugar, sugar, vanilla, and egg. Mix together by hand or with an electric mixer until well combined.
- To the butter mixture, sift in the flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt. Mix again until a soft dough is formed and all ingredients are incorporated.
- Press the cookie dough evenly into a well greased 12 inch cast iron skillet.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, until a toothpick placed in the center comes out clean
- While the cookie base is baking prepare the coconut topping. In a saucepan over medium heat, toast the coconut and pecans, then remove from the pan. Combine the evaporated milk, sugar, butter, and vanilla. Cook and stir until thickened, 10-12 minutes. Remove from the heat and add in the coconut and pecans.
- Remove the cookie from the oven and top with the milk chocolate chips. Slowly spread the chocolate chips over the top of the cookie as they melt to form a chocolate layer.
- Top the cookie with the coconut-pecan topping and enjoy! The topping will set if allowed to cool, so cool before slicing if you want a more set top.
