Instructions
- Set your oven to 350ºF.
- Start off by creaming the butter and sugar together for approx. 3-4 minutes.
- Once creamed, add in the egg and vanilla and mix for another minute. Continue by adding your dry ingredients.
- Once mixed completely, ball the cookie dough and place onto a cookie sheet and bake at 350ºF for 10-12 minutes.
- Once they come out of the oven, let cool for 1-2 minutes then press down flat with a spoon.
For the cookies:
- In a sauce pan, combine the evaporated milk, sugar, egg yolks, salt and butter. Stir over a low heat until the butter melts, once the butter has melted, increase the heat to medium. Bring to a light boil and continue stirring.
- This whole process takes approx. 10 minutes.
- Once the mixture has had a chance to thicken, add in the spiced rum, toasted pecans and coconut. Stir until completely mixed and set aside to cool.
- Once the sauce has had its chance to cool, scoop on top of the cookie, then garnish with more pecans, coconut, chocolate and serve!
