Sunny's German Chocolate Cake Cookies

Submitted by QueenJellyBean

"from Sunny Anderson of Food Network...these are AMAZING! They are slightly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. My family LOVED them! It is very important that you use the parchment paper on your cookie sheets. It helps your cookies to not spread too much and to not stick to the cookie sheet!"
