Categories     Cookies

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 3/4 c flour
1 1/2 c sugar
3/4 c butter, softened
2/3 c cocoa
3/4 tsp baking soda
2 eggs
2 Tbsp milk
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 c finely chopped pecans
FILLING
1/2 c butter
1/2 c packed brown sugar
1 c coconut flakes, toasted
1 c finely chopped pecans
1 tsp vanilla
1/4 c light corn syrup

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350. Cream butter and sugar together. Add vanilla, milk and eggs and mix. Beat in baking soda. Add cocoa and mix well. Add flour gradually, using mixer. You may need to add last bit of flour stirring by hand, as the batter is very stiff. Stir in pecans.
  • 2. Form into 1 1/4 inch balls (I used my 1" cookie scoop and it worked perfect). Put onto ungreased cookie sheet and flatten just slightly using the tips of your fingers.
  • 3. Bake 9 minutes. Let sit for about 1 minute then move to cooling rack to cool completely.
  • 4. Once cookies are finished, make filling (don't make filling in advance; it's easiest to spread when warm). In medium sauce pan over medium heat, melt butter. Add in brown sugar and corn syrup, stirring constantly until thick and bubbly. Remove from heat. Stir in vanilla. Add toated coconut and pecans and stir until well combined.
  • 5. Spread filling by tablespoonfuls onto the underside of one cookie, and top with another cookie to make sandwich.
  • 6. **TO TOAST COCONUT** Place coconut on a baking sheet and place in 350 oven for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned.

These cookies were a bit too coconutty for my taste. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

I love these cookies! They're so easy to make and they always turn out perfect. I usually double the recipe because they disappear so quickly.

These cookies were a snap to make and they taste like they came from a bakery. I'll definitely be adding them to my holiday baking list.

The cookies turned out a bit dry. I think I overbaked them. But the filling was delicious.

These cookies were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I think I'll try using less sugar next time.

Just made these cookies and they're heavenly! The chocolate cake cookies are so moist and the coconut pecan filling is the perfect balance of sweetness and crunch. I'm already planning on making them again next week.

These cookies are amazing! The chocolate cake cookies are soft and chewy, and the coconut pecan filling is sweet and creamy. I love the combination of flavors and textures. I'll definitely be making these again.

Easy to make and delicious! I used dark chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet and they turned out great. The cookies are chewy and the filling is creamy. Yum!

These cookies were a hit with my family! They're so rich and decadent, and the filling is to die for. I love how the pecans add a bit of crunch. I will definitely be making these again.
