We love the classic German chocolate cake and didn’t think it could get any better, but then we discovered these delicious German chocolate cake cookies. That’s right, all the decadent flavors we know and love from the traditional cake, packed into a cookie…good thing this recipe makes a big batch of them, cause we’re going to need as many as we can get!
