Pillsbury Bake off German Chocolate Cookies image

Rolled cookie with coconut pecan frosting spooned in the center. Moist cookie tastes like the wonderful cake! Labor intensive but really worth it. Dough needs to be refrigerated 6-8 hours before baking for best results. Baked cookies freeze very well.
