Today I made turtle cookies, my only mistake is that I didn't use my own cookie recipe...lol so if you have a favorite cookie recipe please feel free to substitute it...The cookie taste a little plain my suggestion would be to use a chocolate chip cookie recipe without the chips or even a sugar cookie recipe.
I made a chocolate ganache instead of using the chocolate glaze recommend in the recipe, I just can't follow protocol...lol

with the chocolate ganache

sugar
½ c butter
soften
Water
1 t vanilla
1 ½ c
unbleached flour
1/8 t salt
2 to 3 c
pecan halves
8 vanilla
caramels ea. Cut into 4th
Chocolate
Glaze

**Chocolate Ganache - I used
8 oz chocolate chips (I used 4 oz dark choc. and 4 oz semi sweet)
1/4 c heavy cream
*melt in microwave save dish, stir and let sit to thicken then drizzle over turtle cookies
Mix sugar,
butter, 2 T water and vanilla until fluffy. Stir in flour and salt until dough
holds together. (if dough is dry, stir in 1 to 2 t water, as necessary.)
For each
cookie: on ungreased cookie sheet arrange 3 to 5 pecan halves to resemble head
arms and feet of a turtle. Using a teaspoonful of dough, shape dough around a
piece of caramel; press firmly onto center of arrange pecan halves.
Bake 350
12-15 min. or until dough is set but not brown.
Glaze: mix
sugar w/1 t water melted choc., and vanilla until smooth. If necessary stir in
more water, 1 t at a time until glaze is of desire consistency.
Dip top of
cooled cookies into glaze
Tips
1. make sure to push caramel in center of cookie dough and roll into ball then smash.
2. make sure you smash the cookie dough into the pecan so to bake into cookie.
