Sammy's German Chocolate Cookies
This is my daughter's recipe that she created. I made these on 4 Apr 2021, and my comment as well as the rest of the family, "damn good cookies!" Highly recommended.
Equipment
- Oven
- Baking Sheets
- Electric Mixer
Ingredients
- 2¼ cups all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup chocolate chips, milk, semi, or dark
- 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut, heaping
- ¼ cup pecans, chopped, or walnuts
- 1 cup caramel bits
- 1 cup butter, (1 block / 2 sticks)
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 eggs
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 190° C (375° F), Line a baking sheet or sheets with parchment paper or foil.
- Add the flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt to a mixing bowl and whisk together.
- In another bowl, measure and add the chocolate chips, coconut, pecans, and caramel bits.
- In a large mixing bowl, add the softened butter and both sugars. Use an electric mixer to cream together for about 5 minutes, scrapping the sides occasionally to fully mix everything.
- To the butter mixture, add the eggs and vanilla and mix that in for 1 minute.
- Add the flour mixture and mix together with a large sturdy spoon.
- Add the chocolate chip mixture and mix in.
- Drop by rounded half tablespoons. (I went overboard on this batch and went with rounded tablespoons, they cookies were big but still delicious.)
- Bake for 9-11 minutes or until set. Cool on the sheet for 5-7 minutes then move to a wire rack to cool completely. (I baked for 10 minutes and these were perfect.)
- Place on a serving tray, serve, and enjoy.
Notes
Fair cost based on the caramel bits and pecans.
