Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
For the Coconut Pecan Topping: In a saucepan, mix egg yolks, evaporated milk, butter, sugars, salt, and vanilla over medium heat until thickened. Stir in coconut and pecans; cool.
For the Cookie Dough: Cream together softened butter and sugars until fluffy. Add cocoa powder, eggs, and vanilla; mix well. Combine dry ingredients and gradually add to wet mixture until just combined.
