Instructions
Cookies
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
- Add the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar to a large bowl. Using a hand mixer, beat on medium until light and fluffy, about 3 mins.
- Add the eggs and vanilla. Beat until combined.
- Add the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Beat until the flour is worked into the cookie dough.
- Using a small cookie scoop, scoop the cookie dough and place it on the prepared cookie sheet 2 inches apart. I do 3 rows of 4.
- Place in the oven and bake for 12 – 14 minutes until done. The edges will be set and the center will be a matte color when they’re done.
- Let cool on the baking sheets for 5 to 10 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack or paper towel to cool completely. While the cookies are cooling make the topping.
Topping
- Add the evaporated milk, granulated sugar, egg yolks, and butter to a medium saucepan. Cook on medium heat for 10-12 minutes stirring frequently so the egg yolks don’t become scrambled eggs. Once the sauce thickens remove it from heat.
- Stir in vanilla, coconut, and pecans. Set aside and let cool before adding to the cookies.
- Scoop a tablespoon of filling on top of each cookie just before serving.
- For just the cookies, place them in an airtight container at room temperature.
- For the cookies with topping, place in an airtight container in the fridge.
