Once thick, remove from heat and add the coconut & pecans. Mix well. Spread frosting over tops of cooled cookies. Drizzle with choc for a very gorgeous looking cookie.

These are FANTASTIC!!!!! You've GOT to try them. The recipe was sent to me on FB from a friend.

Thanks, Donna!
Did you use light brown sugar?

[cookielady]

Paula...yes. I don't think it would hurt it though if you used dark if that's all you had at that time. I'm getting ready to make a second batch. I have about a half dozen leftover cookies w/o frosting because I ran short the first time, so I think I'll make a recipe & a half of the frosting this next time and should come out even. I PROMISE you, these will be one of your favorites.
