I made them Saturday and they are delicious. Very good chewy cookie.

Thumbprint Cookies

Topping:
1 c. sugar
1 c. evaporated milk
1/2 c. butter, softened
1 tsp. vanilla
3 egg yolks, beaten
1 1/2 c. coconut
1 1/2 c. chopped pecans

Cookies:
1 pkg. German chocolate cake mix
1/3 c. melted butter

In a heavy saucepan, combine sugar, milk, 1/2 cup butter, vanilla and egg yolks. Blend well. Cook over medium heat for 10-13 minutes or until thickened and bubbly. Stir frequently. Stir in coconut and pecans.

Remove from heat. Cool at room temperature. Reserve 1 1/4 cups topping mixture. Set aside. Combine cookie ingredients and remaining topping mixture. Stir by hand until thoroughly moistened.

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Shape cookie dough into balls. Place 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet. With your thumb, make an indentation in the middle of each ball and fill each indentation with 1/2 teaspoon of reserved topping mixture. Bake for 10-13 minutes. Makes 5 dozen cookies.
