cookie granny's german chocolate cake cookies
Who doesn't love a little german chocolate cake? My Great Grandmother used to make her famous (well, famous to us) german chocolate cake for special occasions only. After years of tweaking her basic chocolate cookie recipe to taste like a piece of german chocolate cake....the cake flavored recipe was invented. It is soft like a cake but you will not feel the same amount of guilt as you would if you ate an entire cake. :) Hope you enjoy!
