German Chocolate Cookies

Topping:
1 cup sugar
½ cup butter
3 egg
3 egg yolks, beaten
1 cup evaporated milk
1 tsp. vanilla
1 ½ cups chopped pecans
1 ½ cups flaked coconut

Cook first 5 ingredients over medium heat until thick and bubbling – about 12 minutes. Add pecans & coconut. Cool, set aside 1-¼ cups.

Cookies:
1 pkg. German Chocolate Cake mix (with pudding)
1/3 cup softened butter
1 ¼ cup of topping

Roll dough into 1-inch balls. Put a large crater in the middle, and place 1 tsp. of topping inside. Bake cookies at 350° for 11-14 minutes. Don’t over/under cook – cookies will spread.
