Method
- 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.
Notes
For a more intense chocolate flavor, try using dark chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet. Store cookies in an airtight container to keep them fresh longer.
