Ingredients:
- 1 cup 2 sticks unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups sweetened shredded coconut
- 1 cup chopped almonds
- 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup evaporated milk
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup 1 stick unsalted butter
- 2 large egg yolks
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Instructions:
Start by heating the oven to 350F 175C
Put 1 cup of softened butter and 1 cup of granulated sugar in a large bowl and mix them together until they are light and fluffy
Add the eggs and 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract and mix them in well
Mix the flour, cocoa powder, and salt together in a different bowl
Mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients one at a time until the dough comes together
Put the sweetened shredded coconut and chopped almonds in a small bowl and mix them together
Roll the cookie dough into 1-inch balls, then roll them in the coconut and almond mixture, pressing a little to help them stick
Put the cookies on a baking sheet that has been lined with parchment paper
Use your thumb to make a hole in the middle of each cookie
After the oven is hot, bake the cookies for 10 to 12 minutes, or until they are set
Get the chocolate filling ready while the cookies are baking
Melt the milk chocolate chips, add the butter, and mix them with 1/2 cup of sugar and 1/2 cup of evaporated milk in a saucepan
Stir the mixture all the time over medium-low heat until it gets smooth and thick
As soon as you take the cookies out of the oven, press your thumb back into the centers to see if they need it
Put some of the chocolate mixture into each hole
Cool the cookies for a few minutes on the baking sheet, then move them to a wire rack to cool all the way down
Add the egg yolks and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to a small bowl and mix them together
For extra flavor and style, drizzle this mixture over the cookies after they have cooled
Before you serve, let the drizzle set
