Instructions
For Cookie Base
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line baking sheets with parchment paperÂ
-
 Sift the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. Set aside.
-
In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar at medium-high speed until well combined and smooth. Then add the eggs and vanilla and beat until combined. On low speed gradually add the flour mixture. Fold in the chocolate chips with a rubber spatula.
-
Drop the dough onto the baking sheets using a medium-size cookie scoop.
-
Bake for about 10 minutes or until the cookies are set in the center. Let them cool on the baking sheets for 10 minutes before removing the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.

For the Coconut Pecan Topping
Combine milk, sugar, egg yolk, and butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir frequently until the mixture has thickened, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla, coconut, and pecans. Let cool until thick enough to spread on top of the cooled cookies.

Drizzle the melted chocolate all over the cookies. Let everything set for at least 15 minutes before serving.Â
