Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silpat mat.
- Combine the flour together with the cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt; mix until well combined.
- Beat together in a separate bowl the butter and sugars with a hand mixer until creamy.
- Add the full egg, yolk, and vanilla; beat until creamy.
- Slowly add the flour to the butter mixture - the batter will be thick.
- Add the chocolate chips and mix until combined.
- Scoop spoonfuls (about 1 ½ tbsp) of the dough onto the baking sheet placing them 2 inches apart.
- Place into the oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until set.
- Remove from the oven and allow them to sit for 7-10 minutes before moving them to a wire rack to finish cooling.
- Make the frosting by combining the evaporated milk, sugar, egg yolk, and butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring often for 10 minutes, or until thickened.
- Add the coconut, pecans, and vanilla; stir until well combined. Set aside to cool completely.
- Once the cookies are cooled completely and the coconut pecan frosting is cooled completely, add a dollop of frosting to each cookie you plan on serving.
- If desired, melt some semi-sweet melting wafers in the microwave per instructions and drizzle on top of each cookie. Serve with ice-cold milk and enjoy.
- Store the remaining cookies in a sealed container. Store the frosting in a sealed container in the refrigerator.
