How To Make coconut pecan cookies
-
1For frosting: In a large saucepan, combine the egg, milk, sugar, and butter. Cook and stir over medium low heat for 10-12 minutes or until slightly thickened and mixture reaches 160F or is thick enough to coat the back of a metal spoon. Stir in coconut and pecans. Set aside.
-
2In a large bowl, cream butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs and vanilla. Combine the flour, baking soda, and salt; gradually add to creamed mixture and mix well. Stir in 2 cups chips and coconut.

3Drop by tablespoonfuls 2 inches apart onto ungreased baking sheets. Bake at 350F for 8-10 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool for 10 minutes before removing to wire racks to cool completely. In a microwave, melt the remaining chocolate chips; stir until smooth. Spread frosting over cooled cookies; drizzle with melted chocolate.
