If you’re a fan of German Chocolate Cake, this cookie is for you! German Chocolate Chip Cookies are everything you love – chocolate, coconut and pecans!
This is a recipe from deep in the C&C cookie archives. I absolutely adore this cookie…chocolate, coconut, pecans… there’s so much to love. Not to mention the fact that my kids won’t touch them, so I can put most of the batch in the freezer and enjoy them here and there. Love, love, love.
This simple cookie recipe doesn’t require any chilling of the dough, which I also love…no waiting around for fresh cookies. The chocolate cookie base is studded with chocolate chips, shredded coconut and chopped pecans. A real treat for those of us that love German Chocolate Cake, but only make it about once a year!
