How to Make German Chocolate Sandwich Cookies
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Toast coconut: Spread 1 cup shredded coconut in an even layer on a baking sheet. Bake for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown.
- Make cookies: In a large bowl, combine 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 ½ cups granulated sugar, 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened, ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon salt, 2 large eggs, ½ cup milk, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Beat at medium speed with an electric mixer until well combined.
- Stir in 1 cup chopped pecans.
- Shape the batter into 1-inch balls using slightly floured hands.
- Place the balls onto ungreased baking sheets.
- Flatten slightly with a fork.
- Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are set.
- Let the cookies cool slightly on the baking sheets before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Make filling: In a medium saucepan, melt ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter over medium heat.
- Add 1 cup packed light brown sugar and ½ cup light corn syrup.
- Stir constantly until the mixture is bubbly and smooth. Do not overcook, as this will make the filling too hard to spread.
- Remove from heat and stir in 1 cup toasted coconut, ½ cup chopped pecans, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Let the filling cool slightly to make it easier to spread.
- Assemble the sandwiches: Once the cookies and filling have cooled, spread about 1 tablespoon of the warm coconut pecan filling onto the bottom of one cookie.
- Top with a second cookie to create a sandwich.
- Serve warm or at room temperature. For a warm filling, microwave for 10 seconds or until heated through.
