- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs

- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda

Instructions
- Make the coconut pecan filling: In a saucepan, whisk evaporated milk, sugar, egg yolks, and salt. Cook over medium heat until it bubbles and thickens (8-10 minutes). Stir in butter, vanilla, coconut, and pecans. Let cool.
- Make the cookie dough: Cream butter and sugars until fluffy. Beat in eggs and vanilla. In another bowl, whisk flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt. Add dry ingredients to wet, mixing until combined. Fold in chocolate chips.
- Chill dough for 20-30 minutes if warm.
- Preheat oven to 350°F and line baking sheets with parchment. Scoop dough into balls, create a well in the center, add coconut pecan filling, and cover with dough. Bake for 9-11 minutes.
