German Chocolate COOKIES!

german chocolate cookies ... more frosting per bite than german chocolate cake!
Do you ever find the frosting to cake ratio to be a little low on the frosting side when eating German Chocolate Cake?
Do you ever find yourself eating the coconut pecan frosting with a spoon straight from the pan?
Do you ever find that your pants won't button?

{Let's not talk about that last one.}

coconut pecan frosting for german chocolate cookies!

OK...I have the recipe for you.  German Chocolate Cake COOKIES!  Yep, cookies.  The frosting ratio is higher, and there's no need to bake a layer cake.

    I am curious to find out what blog system you have been working with?

    I'm having some minor security issues with my latest blog and I'd like to find something more risk-free.
    Do you have any recommendations?

    First, addressing the frosting to cake ratio in general. I always joke with my brother, who is a math teacher, about cupcakes have a better frosting to cake ratio. Fun. As well, I bake my husband German chocolate cake (named after the man not the country, btw) every year for his birthday. It is his favorite. This is a great idea.

    I totally agree that the frosting ratio is a little low on German Chocolate cakes. But, you can never have too much frosting, in my humble opinion. :) These cookies look just gorgeous!

    The coconut pecan frosting looks and sounds delicious! I don't think I've tried it before but that will hopefully change soon!
