Turtle Cookies. An ultimate, chocolate, pecan, caramel cookie indulgence.
Pecans, caramel and chocolate get together in these Turtle Cookies in an absolutely winning combination. Naturally, that’s why everybody loves those gorgeous Turtle chocolates. Also, it’s why Turtle Cheesecake is such a popular dessert menu item. So, inspired by those great little confections, I set out to make a cookie version that would be worthy of the name.
Turtle Cheesecake
I can report that all testers of these cookies declare them to be amazing. A double chocolate chip cookie gets rolled in pecans and topped with a soft chewy caramel candy.
I like dark chocolate chips in this recipe but you can use any kind you like.
Then, it bakes to crispy, chewy perfection. These are destined to become one of our household’s signature cookie recipes for sure.
