Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 13

½ cup butter, softened
½ cup packed brown sugar
1 egg
1 egg, separated
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
¼ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
36 pecan halves
2 (1 ounce) squares unsweetened chocolate
¼ cup milk
1 tablespoon butter
1 ¾ cups sifted confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • Cream butter or margarine, gradually add brown sugar, beating at medium speed of an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
  • Add 1 egg, 1 egg yolk, and vanilla; beating until well blended.
  • Combine flour, baking soda and salt; add to creamed mixture, mixing well.
  • Chill dough at least 1 hour.
  • Arrange pecan halves in groups of 5 on ungreased cookie sheets, resembling head and legs of turtles.
  • Shape dough into 1-inch balls, and dip bottoms in remaining egg white. Press gently onto pecans to resemble turtle bodies. Bake at 350 degrees F (180 degrees C) for 10 to 12 minutes. Cool on wire racks. Spread frosting on top of cookies.
  • To Make Frosting: Combine chocolate squares, milk and 1 tablespoon butter or margarine in a small saucepan; cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until chocolate melts. Remove from heat. Add approximately 1 3/4 cups confectioner's sugar; beat until smooth.

I'm not a huge fan of turtles, but I really enjoyed these cookies. They're not too sweet and the caramel is nice and gooey.

These cookies are way too expensive. I can find similar cookies at the store for half the price.

I've tried making these cookies several times, but they always turn out dry. I don't know what I'm doing wrong.
