You will need to make the pecan topping first.

German Chocolate Cookies

Topping:

1 cup sugar

1 cup evaporated milk

1/2 stick butter

1 teaspoon vanilla

3 egg yolks...beaten

In a 2 quart pan, mix all ingredients blending well. Stirring frequently cook over medium heat 10-12 minutes, or til bubbly. It will look like caramel and be thick enough to coat a spoon. Remove from heat.

To the COOLED mixture add:

1 3/4 cup coconut

1 1/4 cup chopped pecans

Allow mixture to cool to room temp. Reserve 1 1/2 cups of it for topping the cookies. Use the rest for the cookie dough. This topping is also great on ice cream!

Preheat TO 350*.

Cookie Dough

1 box "Pudding In The Mix" German chocolate cake mix

1/3 cup softened butter...NOT MELTED

All but the reserved 1 1/2 cups topping mix you made above

Combine all ingredients in a large bowl. Stir til through;y moistened. Dough will be very soft. Shape into 1 inch balls with your hands. Put on ungreased cookie sheet about 2 inches apart. Make a dent in the center of each cookie with your thumb. Don't worry if they crack a little. Use a teaspoon to drop generous portions of the Carmel topping you reserved into the dents. Bake 11-14 minutes or til flat and set. The cracks will look mostly dry. Let the cookies cool COMPLETELY before removing them from the cookie sheet. Makes about 4 dozen cookies.
