  3. In another bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt.
  4. Gradually add flour mixture and blend until combined.
  5. Drop by dough by the tablespoonful onto prepared baking sheets. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes.
  6. To make the topping, add evaporated milk, sugar, egg yolks, and butter to a saucepan. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly until thickened and comes to a bubble, about 11 to 12 minutes.
  7. Remove from heat, add vanilla, coconut, and pecans. Let cool. Spread over top of cooled cookies.
  8. Melt chocolate chips in microwave according to package directions and drizzle over tops of cookies.
