German Chocolate Cookies

Well...almost German Chocolate Cookies. I am not a huge fan of nuts, and so these are a chocolate cookie with a German Chocolate frosting on top, minus the pecans, drizzled with chocolate. If you like coconut, you will love this cookie!!
I have been thinking about making this cookie for a little over a year, I don't know why it took me so long to make it, but I am happy to report that they are as good as I had expected them to be all this time! Hope you all enjoy as well!

German Chocolate Cookies

Cookie:
1 Chocolate Cake Mix
2 eggs
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup shortening

Mix all ingredients together. Roll into balls and place on an un-greased cookie sheet, lined with parchment paper. Bake in a 350 oven for 10 minutes. Cool completely.

Frosting:
In a medium sauce pan, slightly  beat 1 egg.
Stir in 2/3 cup Evaporated Milk
2/3 cup sugar
1/4 cup butter.
Cook and stir over medium heat for 7-10 minutes until thickened and bubbly. Remove from heat and stir in 1 1/2 cups of coconut (if you want to add pecans, cut back the coconut to 1 1/3 cup and ad 1/2 cup of chopped pecans).
Press a sheet of wax paper over the top of the mixture and cool completely.

Once both the frosting and cookie have cooled, spread frosting on the tops of each cookie. Take about 1/2 cup of chocolate chips and melt them. Pour that in a Ziploc bag, and cut a small tip off the end of the bag and drizzle the chocolate over the top of the frosting.
Place cookies in fridge so the chocolate can set up.
Enjoy!!
