GERMAN CHOCOLATE COOKIES



German Chocolate Cookies image

While a big slice of German chocolate cake may appeal to many, baking one from scratch may not. That's where these cookies come in. They satisfy the craving for deep, dark pools of warm chocolate, sweet pecans and fragrant coconut with only a fraction of the work. To toast the coconut, spread it out on a baking sheet and bake at 350 degrees for 5 to 10 minutes. Take it out of the oven when the edges and some of the coconut in the center are deep golden brown. It's fine if some of the coconut is still pale.

Time 45m

Yield 2 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup/128 grams all-purpose flour
1/2 cup/47 grams natural cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
8 tablespoons/113 grams unsalted butter (1 stick), at room temperature
1/2 cup/101 grams granulated sugar
1/2 cup/110 grams packed dark brown sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups/128 grams lightly toasted, sweetened shredded coconut
1 cup/170 grams chopped bittersweet chocolate
1 cup/119 grams chopped pecans

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt. In a large bowl, beat butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar together with an electric mixer on medium speed until fluffy, about 2 minutes. Beat in the egg and vanilla until smooth.
  • Reduce the speed to low and beat in the flour mixture. Add coconut, chocolate and pecans and mix to just combine.
  • Portion the dough in 2 tablespoon scoops and roll them into balls. Place them on parchment-lined baking sheets, at least 2 inches apart. Bake the cookies until dry on top but still soft in the center, about 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and immediately tap the sheets against a work surface to deflate them slightly. Let the cookies sit on the sheets for 3 minutes, then transfer them to a rack to cool completely.

Tips:

  • Make sure to use unsweetened coconut flakes for this recipe, as sweetened flakes will make the bars too sweet. You can also toast the coconut flakes for a richer flavor.
  • If you don't have evaporated milk, you can use whole milk instead. Just be sure to reduce the amount of liquid by 1/4 cup.
  • You can use any type of chopped nuts in this recipe, such as pecans, walnuts, or almonds. If you're using a nut that is prone to burning, such as walnuts, be sure to toast them lightly before adding them to the batter.
  • Be careful not to over-mix the batter, as this will make the bars tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the bars until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This will usually take about 30-35 minutes.
  • Let the bars cool completely before cutting them into squares. This will help them to hold their shape.
  • For a richer flavor, you can drizzle the bars with melted chocolate or caramel sauce before serving.

Conclusion:

German chocolate coconut bars are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. With their chocolate, coconut, and pecan filling, these bars are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a dessert that is both delicious and easy to make, be sure to give these German chocolate coconut bars a try.
