German Chocolate Cake Nibbles

German Chocolate Cake Nibbles are reminiscent of the popular coconut and chocolate cake sometimes served during the holidays. These cookies are really easy to make, but the results look fabulous. Since these are drop cookies they are not make ahead and bake later cookies.  In other words, prepare the batter and bake the cookie in the same day.  However, they are quick and easy to make you won’t mind.  And the smell is heavenly.  Not to mention — chocolate!!

• Total Time: 18 mins
• Yield: 3 dozen 1x

Ingredients

Units USM Scale 1x2x3x

• 2 sticks butter, softened
• 1 cup light brown sugar
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 large eggs, beaten
• 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

• 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
• 1 cup shredded sweetened coconut
• 1 cup chopped pecans

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line with parchment paper (or lightly grease) three baking sheets, and set aside.
2. In medium bowl, thoroughly combine flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt.
3. In large mixing bowl, use hand mixer to blend butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, vanilla, and eggs.
4. Pouring small portions, add flour mixture into the larger bowl with the butter mixture, beating well after each addition. Add chocolate chips, coconut, and pecans. Mix well.
5. Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to drop batter onto prepared baking sheets. Each sheet should have at least 1 dozen cookies, depending on the size of your sheet.
6. Bake about 8 minutes or until cookies are cooked in the center. Since you can’t use the “golden brown” method to judge when chocolate cookies are done, insert a wooden toothpick into the middle of several cookies to check. If the toothpick comes out clean with no batter or wet crumbs sticking to it, cookies are done.
7. Remove cookies from oven and place on a baking rack to cool.
