Ingredients

  • One (24-count) package refrigerated chocolate chip cookie dough
  • 1 cup evaporated milk
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 large egg yolks
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter cubed
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans
  • 1 cup shredded or flaked sweetened coconut
  • Additional pecan halves
  • Chocolate for drizzling chocolate wafers melted, chocolate syrup drizzled, etc

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Liberally grease a 24-cavity miniature muffin pan with cooking spray. Place one cookie dough ball into each muffin cavity and bake for approximately 10-15 minutes or until the centers appear set and the edges are golden brown. Cool for about 10 minutes, then using the handle of a wooden spoon, make small indentations in the middle of each cookie cup. Cool completely.
  • While cookies cool, make your frosting. Combine the evaporated milk, granulated sugar, egg yolks, cubed butter, and vanilla extract over medium heat until the butter melts. Bring the mixture to a small boil and stir constantly for 10-12 minutes or until mixture has thickened. Remove from the heat and stir in the chopped pecans and coconut. Cool the frosting for about 30 minutes.
  • Using a cookie dough scoop, scoop heaping Tablespoonfuls of the frosting into and on top of each cookie cup. Press a pecan half on top and drizzle with melted chocolate.
