A chewy chocolate cookie topped with a German chocolate icing. Very good, and they freeze wonderfully if you have any left to freeze. If you love german chocolate cake you will love these cookies. I made these for a cookie party and every person there asked for the recipie and before everyone left all of the cookies were gone. Fantastic recipe I have already made three more batches!
