You can garnish these cookies with pecan halves or a couple of chocolate chips before baking, or drizzle with a little melted chocolate after taking them out of the oven. —Deb Villenauve, Krakow, Wisconsin

Test Kitchen tips

It’s a little tricky to tell when the cake cups are done baking. When they are “set” they’ll look more matte than glossy.

If you love German chocolate cake, you’ll love these little bite-sized versions.
