Directions
Make Filling
- Step 1Whisk together condensed milk, egg yolks, and butter in a medium saucepan. Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until bubbly and thick, 4 to 6 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla, pecans, and coconut. Transfer to a bowl and let stand until cool, about 1 hour.
Make Cookies
- Step 1Preheat oven to 375°F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl.
- Step 2Beat butter and brown sugar with an electric mixer on medium speed until combined, about 1 minute. Beat in eggs and vanilla. Reduce mixer speed to low and beat in flour mixture just until combined. Stir in 3/4 cup untoasted coconut, pecans, and chopped chocolate.
- Step 3Scoop cookies (about 2 tablespoons each) and place 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheets. Press to flatten slightly. Bake until edges are set, 8 to 10 minutes. Cool on baking sheets, 5 minutes. Transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
- Step 4Spoon filling onto bottoms of half of cookies; sandwich with remaining cookies. Roll edges in 1 cup toasted coconut.
