Method
- In a small bowl, whisk the flour and baking powder together.
- Place the chocolate chips and the butter in a small microwave-safe bowl, and microwave on High in 15-seconds intervals. Stir after each interval, until the chocolate and butter have completely melted. Set aside to allow to cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar, vanilla and eggs until combined.
- Add the cooled chocolate mixture to the egg mixture and whisk until smooth.
- Add in the dry ingredients and mix well. Chill the dough in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and lightly grease a baking sheet.
- Scoop the dough into balls, using a tablespoon or cookie scoop. Arrange on the prepared cookie sheet, about 2 inches apart. Bake until edges are just starting to brown, about 10 minutes. Transfer cookies to a cooling rack.
- To make the topping: Combine the evaporated milk, butter, egg yolks, sugar and vanilla in a medium sized saucepan and cook over medium heat until the mixture begins to thicken, about 10-15 minutes. Remove from heat and cool for 5 minutes. Add the shredded coconut and chopped pecans and stir. Cool for 10 more minutes.
- Once the cookies and the topping have cooled, spoon a generous tablespoon of the topping on top of each cookie. (You may have to shape with your hands depending if the coconut has long shreds.)
- In a small microwave safe bowl, place the remaining 4 ounces of chocolate chips and microwave on High in 10 seconds intervals, stirring at every stop, until the chocolate is fully melted. Drizzle the cookies with the melted chocolate*. Allow chocolate to set for about an hour. (You can speed up the cooling by refrigerating the cookies for 15 minutes.)

Notes
Storage: Store cookies in an airtight container in the refrigerator, and enjoy within 5 days.
*PRO TIP: To drizzle the chocolate in thin lines, transfer the melted chocolate to a zip-top baggie using a small spatula. Seal the baggie and snip off one small piece of the corner. Drizzle chocolate across each of the cookies.
