German Chocolate Cake Cookie best

Today I am featuring one of the best cookies you will ever eat, ever!  A cookie that will become so addictive you will make them in large quantities and freeze them just to be able to have them for a week or two at a time.

Making one of the traditional cakes, German Chocolate cake into a a cookie was one of the best recipes I have ever made. How can you really go wrong with caramel, pecans and chocolate?

My favorite thing about this recipe is that everything is from scratch. This chocolate cookie is so chewy and moist making it the best platform for the frosting. Bake them today, as they are hands down amazing, delicious, unbelievable , out of this world and the best cookie ever, as quoted by my friends and family that tried them.

 What brings me the most joy when making this cookie, is my husband. He loves these, had I made these when we were dating I think we would have gotten married even earlier, he loves them so much it would have created an instant proposal. Instead I had to wait {but only 9 months, lol}.

Want to make this for someone special add a heart with colored red or pink melting chocolate – I did that for Valentine’s Day. Enjoy!!! XOXO San

My favorite kitchen items I used to make these GERMAN CHOCOLATE CAKE COOKIES.

This post may contain affiliate links. See my Full Disclosure for further details.

Sheet Pan: I love using a larger sheet pan while cooking because I am feeding my family of seven. I love aluminium for when I do sheet pan meals. I would start with this 13 by 18 half sheet pan. I love these pans so much that I have 9!

Kitchen Aid Mixer: I love my Kitchenaid mixer and use it almost daily. For cookies, breads, sauces, frostings and dough – I find many recipes that I can use my Kitchen Aid to reduce prep time. I have two that I couldn’t live without.

OR

Hand Mixer: I love these for small batches or quick and easy recipes that don’t require a lot of ingredients. I love that you can have so many color options now, I love personally love teal.

Mixing Bowls: I love having a variety of sizes of mixing bowls. From small to large, I find that having at least 3 bowls of different sizes has been essential in my kitchen. I prefer Pyrex because of the durability.

Check out how easy these German Chocolate Cake Cookies are to make!

How do you make cake cookies?

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.

Line baking sheets with parchment paper.

In a medium bowl, blend the butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, vanilla and eggs.

In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt.

Gradually add the flour mixture into the butter mixture and blend until combined.

Drop the dough by tablespoonful onto the prepared baking sheets, 12 cookies per sheet, and bake 8 to 10 minutes.

Cool on a baking rack.

To make the frosting, add evaporated milk, sugar, egg yolks, butter and vanilla to a large pan and place on stovetop over medium heat.

Stir so that it becomes well combined.

Continue stirring until thickened, this takes approximately 11-12 minutes.

Once thickened remove from heat and add coconut and pecans. Beat until thick enough to spread.

Spread frosting over the tops of cooled cookies.

Optional: Drizzle with melted chocolate and candy coating.

Enjoy!

How do you store cake cookies?

Store in an airtight container at room temperature, the cookies will last about one week.

Freeze in an airtight freezer bag to extend the life of the cookies to one to two months.

To keep your cookies soft and chewy, you can also place a quarter slice of bread (per dozen) into the container.

The cookies will absorb moisture from the bread, keeping them soft longer.

White bread is best, as it won’t transfer its own flavors to the cookies.

Instructions
CHOCOLATE COOKIES
  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a stand mixer or large bowl using a hand mixer, blend the butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, vanilla and eggs. In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt. Gradually add the flour mixture into the butter mixture and blend until combined.
  3. Drop the dough by tablespoonful onto the prepared baking sheets, 12 cookies per sheet, and bake 8 to 10 minutes. Cool on a baking rack.
GERMAN CHOCOLATE FROSTING
  1. Add evaporated milk, sugar, egg yolks, butter and vanilla to a large pan and place on stovetop over medium heat.
  2. Stir so that it becomes well combined. Continue stirring until thickened, this takes approximately 11-12 minutes. I set my time for 11 minutes and 30 seconds, this seems to work every time.
  3. Once thickened remove from heat and add coconut and pecans. Beat until thick enough to spread.
  4. Spread frosting over the tops of cooled cookies.
  5. Optional: Drizzle with melted candy coating and let set up. Top with white chocolate heart. See note.
  6. Note: I melted some pink chocolate candy coating, put it into a Ziplock lunch baggie, snipped off a small corner. Then on some wax paper drew hearts with the chocolate. I let them harden, then gently placed them on top of the cookies. A great decoration for upcoming Valentine’s Day.

          a ‘stick’ is 4 ounces which is equal to 113.39809 grams, so the recipe would take 2 sticks which equals 226.7 grams… approx. 227 grams. Good luck.

          A friend shared this recipe on Facebook and it’s all I could think about all day so I bought the ingredients and made them last night! OMG, these are the best cookie in the whole history and future of cookies. I loved them. I took them to work to avoid eating them all myself and I got raves at work. I posted my plate of cookies in Facebook and already got 2 requests to make them for people. Excellent recipe! Thank you!

I went to Pinterest and the closest I could get was a list of ingredients but no procedure. I’ve been working at this for two days. Hubbys b’day is October 2nd and this is his favorite cake. So this would be a great surprise.

        My daughter made these a few weeks ago and her first batch was very flat and chewy also. I suggested (not having seen this site or the intended texture of the cookie) that she add more flour. Since then she has used 2 3/4 cups of flour and they make a delicious thicker, cake-like cookie. With the icing they are delicious.

          These cookies are supposed to flat and chewy.
          Nice job adjusting the flour to get exactly what you are looking for. I prefer them they way they are, flat and chewy, loaded with icing.

      Am in the middle of making these divine looking cookies …… They are coming out looking as flat as a pancake … Maybe flatter. More like a ginger snap. Not soft and chewy. Batch made about 4 doz. Cookies are tasty, but not what I expected. Tried various baking times, but they always flattened out. Might try mixing another batch of dough, but as of now, can’t see the coconut frosting on these ….. Maybe a dip in white chocolate , so all is not lost , but …….. Any thoughts ?

        I found that if you use jumbo eggs or a little too much butter, it will make your cookies flat. Also, I’ve put a little baking powder in them and they puff up a little more. Also you can use self rising flour which is a lighter flour and has the baking powder already mixed with it. Worth a try but in my opinion just because they are flat doesn’t meant that they are no good unless you burnt them.

    I just made these tonight. O. M. G. These are amazingly delicious. And beautiful to look at. I, of course, did not have quite enough cocoa powder (a little more than 1/4 cup), and no evaporated milk. So I threw in an oz of melted bakers chocolate and used a combination of skim milk and cream and they turned out fine. Okay, better than fine…I don’t know how I’m going to avoid eating them all at once. Thanks so much!!

      Jenelle – it sets up nicely. You could mail them for sure. Let them sit out for a bit to let the frosting harden but you could do this and you could even slide pieces of parchment paper in between. Where are you sending them?

    I made these for my fiancé’s birthday party last night and they were a huge hit! We passed them around to others in the bar and some people took a couple home to have with a glass of milk. 😉 I doubled the cookie recipe and made 1 1/2 times the frosting and it was the perfect amount – made about 60 cookies. I used almond bark for the drizzle. This is going in our family recipe book for sure! 😉

    Hi, just wondering if I did something wrong here.. After adding all the frosting ingredients together in my pan and stirring and applying heat, it seemed as if the egg whites didn’t quite mix. I wasn’t worried about it until they started turning white and then they definitely weren’t mixing well. I strained the pieces out and took away from heat, but it doesn’t seem to be thickening quite as much as I would expect it to. Do you think refrigerating would help ?

      You can use stevia as a substitute for the sugar and the box or pkg will tell you exactly how much to use for the amount of sugar. There is also Ting that is half sugar and half stevia, have used both for cakes and cookies and they work well and are plenty sweet. I personally don’t like the other alternative sugars because they taste so chemical when cooked with and have so many side effects. Have used stevia for over 2 yrs and love it. Some brands are sweeter though and the cheaper store brands are just as good as the high priced name brands. I use 1 to 2 pkg in 30 oz of tea. Hope this helps, I am diabetic and a nurse.

    So I tried making these cookies tonight for a mother’s day party I’m attending tomorrow, and I have to say I was a little disappointed. I followed these directions to a T, which is usually not my style, and the cookies were the challenging part. My cookies didn’t flatten when I baked them, instead they stayed hard, little ball things. Luckily I was able to smush them down about halfway through baking. This recipe is flawed..

Now when you buy the butter the sticks are 1/2 cup. Does the cookie recipe require 2 cups butter or 2 sticks (1 cup)?

    Sorry, but these aren’t German Chocolate Cake Cookies – they are chocolate cookies with the frosting from a German Chocolate Cake. German chocolate cake gets its name from an ingredient it uses: German’s Sweet Chocolate. This chocolate was originated by the Baker’s Chocolate Company (now a subsidiary of Kraft Foods) in the mid 1850s and was named after it’s creator, Sam German. The story of the chocolate says that a misprint in a newspaper that included the recipe for the first German Chocolate Cake simply left out the “s” on the name, and this is why the chocolate is often known simply as “German.” The chocolate is similar to a semisweet chocolate, but has a higher sugar content to it. This means that recipes that use it tend to be a little bit sweeter than ones that don’t.

    Made these today for Thanksgiving dessert, and they were great! My cookies did not turn out flat at all, but I used my spatula to flatten them just a bit for the frosting. They were perfect coming out of the oven anyway. Definitely will be making again!

    well, I cannot figure out what I could have done wrong…….they puffed up beautifully in the oven, and then flattened out completely, becoming hard as rocks! I very carefully followed the recipe and checked it again. With all the reviews from people who have not tried them yet, I am wondering if anyone else has this result….I do see that one person has. I was looking for a cookie just as these seemed to be. Oh, well….

I am a stickler on this when it comes to my German Chocolate Cake. A chocolate cake with German Choc. Icing does not taste the same as German Chocolate being used. Either way I’m sure these are delicious cookies & I will update after I try.

    I baked your German chocolate cake cookies but I did little mistake, good mistake 😉 Instead of evaporated milk I used condensed milk I did not added extra sugar and I used unsweetened coconut flakes. I also use chocolate cake from the box to makes cookies and now I am doing again and I baked Ghirardelli chocolate cookies from the box.
    Cookies are very delicious, thanks for the recipe 🙂

    I followed recipe exactly. After stirring the icing for probably 20 min it barely got thick. I thought at some point it would, but needless to say after wasting my money and entire evening I’m throwing cookies in the pail. Super disappointed with the directions or perhaps inaccurate measurements. 11 minutes 30 seconds versus 20 minutes+ = I wish I chose someone else’s recipe. Money not well spent & final product in the pail. 🙁 #sadness

    I can’t wait to try this recipe! I had been looking for a good scratch recipe for these – I have been making mine with a German Chocolate cake mix and canned coconut peacan frosting, but would love to try from scratch! Mine are a box of cake mix with 1/4 cup oil and 2 eggs. Once mixed together, roll into about 40 balls (about an inch) and bake at 350 for 8 to 10 minutes. When they come out of the oven, flatten with spatula and let cool. Frost the bottom of a cookie and sandwich together with another. Makes 20 sandwich cookies that won’t stick to a ziplock bag in a lunchbox! They are soft and chewy.

        I just want to correct your recipe. German chocolate cake calls for German”s baking chocolate in the baking aisle. The coconut frosting does not make this “German”. It’s actually a guy’s last name, like Hershey chocolate, not german from Germany. German’s baking chocolate is actually a lighter chocolate than most in the baking aisle

      No sorry you need to use evaporated milk but here is an idea: If you don’t have any, make your own: To produce 1 cup of evaporated milk, simmer 2 1/4 cups of regular milk down until it becomes 1 cup. In many recipes, evaporated milk may also be replaced with a combination of whole milk and half-and-half.

They were so easy, and my parents, husband and children are having trouble with self control on these! They are delicious!
