German Chocolate Cake Cookies

Last weekend we ventured downtown to Denver’s Oktoberfest, where I consumed sausages, giant soft pretzels, and of course, glass steins brimming with Oktoberfest brew. With the beginning of October finally in full swing, and Oktoberfest fun fresh on my mind, I decided that this weekend’s baking adventure should be Oktoberfest-themed. I’m going to be honest. It wasn’t until after I finished drizzling the chocolate on top of my German Chocolate Cake Cookies that I found out that German Chocolate Cake is neither Oktoberfest related, nor is it a dessert that even originally hails from Germany. In fact, German Chocolate Cake was invented in the United States by a man named Samuel German. Oh well. Dessert > Dessert Research.

These cookies really take the cake (pun 100% intended). Although I will admit that German Chocolate Cake has never been my favorite dessert, when I saw a recipe from Handle the Heat that combines the traditional-style cake with a chocolatey cookie, I knew I had to give it a shot. German chocolate cake has just bumped itself pretty high up there on my list of my top 1,000 favorite desserts.

The double chocolate cookie is soft, chewy, and loaded with chocolate chips. The topping is sweet, coconutty, and gooey, with the occasional crunch of pecans. They are quite simply divine. If you’re in the mood for cookies and cake but you can’t make up your mind, give these a try.  Let’s face it: two desserts in one is never a bad decision.

Note: In the recipe card below, forgot to add the step where you sample the coconut-pecan topping by spoonful right out of the pan. This step is not optional.

    I was wondering if anyone knows what happened to Dimepiece LA celebrity streetwear brand? I am unable to proceed to the checkout on Dimepiecela site. I’ve read in Harpers Bazaar that the brand was acquired by a UK-based hedge fund in excess of $50 m. I have just bought the Meditate Stainless Steel Water Bottle from Amazon and absolutely love it xox
