Awesome Turtle Cookies


Turtle Cookies Fresh Turtle Cookies



Ingredients




For the cookies:









  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

  • 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

  • ½ cup butter 1 stick

  • 2/3 cup granulated sugar

  • 1 large egg , separated

  • 2 Tablespoons milk

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 1 cup pecans , finely chopped





































For the Caramel:






  • 2/3 cup Kraft Caramel Bits or regular caramels, melted

  • 1/2 teaspoon water









Instructions






  1. Combine flour, cocoa and salt. In a separate bowl cream
    together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Mix in the egg yolk, milk
    and vanilla.  Stir in flour mixture, just
    until combined. Chill dough in the refrigerator for one hour.

  2. Whisk egg whites in a bowl until frothy.  Place chopped pecans in another shallow bowl.
    Remove dough from fridge and roll into small balls (however many cookies you
    want–I made 20 small ones).

  3. Roll each dough ball in the frothy egg whites, and then roll
    and press in the chopped pecans. Place on a greased baking sheet. 

  4. Use the back of a small measuring spoon to make an
    indentation in the center of each dough ball.

  5. Bake at 350 Degrees F for about 10-12 minutes, or just until
    set. Don’t over-bake as cookies will harden as they cool.

  6. As the cookies come out of the oven, gently re-press the
    indentations with a small spoon. 

  7. In a microwavable bowl mix the caramel bits and water.
    Microwave at 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until caramel
    is melted (1-2 minutes). Pour small spoonfuls of caramel into the indented
    cookies.  *Optional: Drizzle with melted
    chocolate (or sprinkle with sea salt)!
