    German Chocolate Cookies

    German Chocolate Cookies starts with a German chocolate cake mix. Then coconut, caramel chips, nuts, and oats are added. YUMMY!!

    *Disclaimer - This recipe was originally published in 2013. I'm working hard to update all my older recipes with recipe cards, new photos, and additional recipe information. But, getting to all of them will take time. Please bear with me. In the meantime let me assure you that this recipe is still a winner and one I'm sure you'll be well pleased with when you make it at home.

    I made these cookies as a little surprise for my mom for Mother's Day yesterday.

    I handed her a box full of these delicious cookies after we'd just had a sumptuous Mother's Day brunch at the local golf course.


    I doubt that my mom would have even sampled these until much later that evening, as we all walked out of that brunch feeling quite full (as you do), and I'll bet the thought of eating anything else must have been pretty off-putting. HAHA!

    Sorry mom but at least the secret ingredient of love adds no extra calories!

      I've been so out of touch lately and was surprised to see the changes here on your site. I do love the new look and I love the sounds of this recipe. No matter how full I may be...I'll always find room for a cookie.

      Hope you had a wonderful Mother's Day yourself. You certainly saw to it that your Mom did 🙂
