Bring the smells and flavors of a German bakery with these tasty cookies. Amerikaner cookies are a typical sweet you can find in most bakeries in Germany. These cookies are thick and shortbread like with a half and half black and white frosting on top. This recipe for German Amerikaner Cookies draws its inspiration from these German treats, but opts for an all chocolate topping with a sprinkling of shredded coconut. Thick and fluffy, sweet and chocolatey, these cookies are a welcome and delicious treat.

Don't just spread the chocolate over the cookies. Instead, after you melt it, pour some of it into a resealable plastic bag. Snip the end off, and then drizzle the chocolate in a zigzag pattern across the cookies. After that, sprinkle with the coconut flakes. Toast the coconut first though. It just tastes better that way.
