GERMAN CHOCOLATE COOKIES (GLUTEN-FREE)

Steps:

• Bake the Cookies: Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside. In the bowl of your standing mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until fluffy, about 2 minutes. Beat in the egg and vanilla. Gradually add the flour mixture and blend until totally incorporated. Scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl with a flexible spatula, making sure there are no unincorporated ingredients in the bottom. Stir in the chocolate pieces. Using a 1-1/2 inch scoop or a rounded tablespoon, drop the dough 1 to 2 inches apart onto the prepared baking sheets. Bake in preheated oven, spinning the trays front to back and switching them top to bottom halfway through baking. Cook until just slightly firm when you gently press the top, 10 to 14 minutes. Let cool for about 2 minutes on the baking sheet. Using a spatula, transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Make the Frosting: In a large saucepan, place the evaporated milk, sugar, egg yolks, salt and butter. Whisk to combine ingredients, place over medium-high heat, and bring to a boil stirring constantly. Reduce to medium or medium-low to hold at a low boil, whisking often until thickened and reduce by about half, 7 to 8 minutes. Don't walk away from the stove while this is cooking. Remove from the heat and transfer to the bowl of your standing mixer. Beat with the paddle attachment on medium until cooled and thick enough to spread. The bottom of the bowl will be no more than warm; this can take up to 10 minutes depending on the strength of your mixer. Mix in the vanilla, coconut and pecans. Set frosting aside. As it cools it will continue to thicken. Spread some of the frosting on each cookie and place on the parchment-lined baking sheet. Set a pecan half on top. Allow frosting has set up before serving. Best on the day they are baked and frosted. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
