THOSE COCONUT PECAN ROLLS
The dough is made in the bread machine. The topping is just the 16 ounce coconut pecan frosting I think it's for the German Chocolate Cake. The results are pure heaven. Every time my grandsons came over if the bread machine was running they would ask me if it was "those" rolls they just devoured the whole batch in one...

Steps:
- Make the dough: Heat the water to 100 degrees F in a bowl in the microwave. (It should feel warm but not too hot.) Sprinkle the yeast and 1/4 teaspoon granulated sugar over the top and stir to dissolve. Let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, whisk the flour, milk powder, fine salt and the remaining 2 tablespoons granulated sugar in a large bowl and make a well in the center. Whisk the melted butter and egg yolks into the yeast mixture, then pour into the well and stir with a wooden spoon until the dough comes together into a shaggy ball.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface, dust with more flour and knead, adding more flour as needed, until smooth but still slightly sticky, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer the dough to a buttered bowl, turning to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
- Make the filling: Mix the granulated sugar, brown sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Turn out the dough onto a lightly floured surface, pat and roll out into a 10-by-18-inch rectangle. Spread the butter over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border on one long side. Sprinkle with the cinnamon sugar and lightly press into the butter. Brush the clean edge with water, then tightly roll up the dough into a log, starting with a long side and rolling toward the clean edge; pinch the seam to seal.
- Butter a 9-by-13-inch baking dish and lightly sprinkle with granulated sugar. Slice the dough log into 12 pieces and arrange cut-side up in the dish. Cover with plastic wrap and let sit at room temperature until doubled in size, about 1 hour, or you can refrigerate overnight, then in the morning let stand at room temperature 2 hours before baking.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Uncover the rolls and bake until golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool at least 15 minutes in the baking dish.
- Meanwhile, make the toffee-pecan sauce: Bring the butter, brown sugar, corn syrup, heavy cream and kosher salt to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook until thickened, 8 to 12 minutes. Stir in the pecans. Cook, stirring, until coated, 1 to 2 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, then pour over the rolls.

COCONUT-PECAN-CARAMEL SANDWICH COOKIES
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spread the coconut in an even layer on one half of a rimmed baking sheet and the pecans on the other. Toast, stirring coconut halfway through, until nuts are fragrant and coconut is light golden, 5 to 7 minutes. Place coconut and pecans in a food processor, and pulse until finely chopped.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter and sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 4 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Beat in vanilla. With mixer on low speed, add the flour and salt; beat until combined. Beat in chopped coconut-nut mixture until combined. Turn out the dough onto a piece of plastic wrap and shape into a flattened disk. Wrap in plastic. Chill dough until firm, 30 to 45 minutes.
- Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper; set aside. On a lightly floured piece of parchment paper, roll out the dough to 1/8-inch thickness. Transfer to another baking sheet, and freeze until firm, 5 to 10 minutes. Using a 2-inch flower cookie cutter, cut out shapes, and place 1 inch apart on prepared baking sheets. Freeze until firm, 5 to 10 minutes.
- Remove from freezer. Using a 3/4-inch round cookie cutter (or the wide end of a pastry tip) cut out and remove the centers from half of the cookies. Bake, rotating sheets halfway through, until golden brown, about 12 minutes. Transfer parchment and cookies to a wire rack to cool completely. Cookies can be made 1 day ahead and kept in an airtight container at room temperature.
- Spoon or pipe about 1 teaspoon Caramel Filling onto the flat side of each of the whole cookies. Top with cut cookies, keeping flat sides down. Drizzle the remaining caramel over the tops. Let caramel set at least 2 hours, or overnight, at room temperature. Cookies can be kept, layered between sheets of parchment paper, in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
- Caramel Filling
- Place the sugar and 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons water in a medium heavy-bottom saucepan. Set over medium-high heat, and stir to combine. Without stirring, bring the mixture to a boil, and cook until dark amber in color, about 5 minutes, washing down the sides of the pan with a wet pastry brush to prevent crystals from forming.
- Remove from heat. Carefully pour the cream down the side of the pan (it will spatter), stirring constantly, until fully combined. Add the butter and stir to combine. Transfer filling to a heatproof bowl, and let cool slightly before filling cookies.

Tips:
- Use fresh shredded coconut: Freshly shredded coconut adds more flavor and texture to the coconut rolls than using dried or sweetened coconut.
- Toast the pecans: Toasting the pecans brings out their nutty flavor and adds a nice crunch to the rolls.
- Don't overproof the dough: Overproofing the dough will make the rolls too dense and less fluffy.
- Bake the rolls until golden brown: The rolls are done baking when they are golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Serve warm: The rolls are best served warm, fresh out of the oven.
Conclusion:
These coconut pecan rolls are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are soft and fluffy, with a sweet and nutty filling. The rolls are also topped with a delicious glaze that adds a touch of sweetness and shine.
