Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
In another bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips.
Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet and bake for about 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set.
While the cookies are baking, combine the coconut, chopped pecans, sweetened condensed milk, butter, and vanilla in a saucepan.
Cook on medium heat until thickened, stirring constantly.
Once the cookies have cooled slightly, top each with a generous spoonful of the coconut pecan frosting.
Let them cool completely, and then indulge in every bite!
