Chocolate Chip Turtle Cookies
When it comes to recipes, I’m can never leave a good thing alone. I’m always taking a classic dish, like the all-American chocolate chip cookie, and trying to make it even better.
A few months back, this led me to create these fabulous Rolo Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies, which had a Rolo caramel candy tucked inside a chocolate-cookie ball and frosted. That combo of caramel and chocolate chip cookie was just SO amazing, it had me looking for new ways to put these two great flavors together.
So I thought, what else has caramel? And the answer was obvious: turtle candies. That mixture of chocolate, caramel and pecans is a treat that’s hard to beat.

So here’s my latest concoction: Chocolate Chip Turtle Cookies. They’re like regular chocolate chip cookies…with a Rolo candy melted on top…and a pecan half on top of that…and a rich, caramel-cream glaze drizzled over top of everything. Over the top? Maybe. Worth it? Ohhhhh yes.
The very best way to make these is with my Homemade Chocolate Cookie Recipe (minus the Oreo center), but if you’re in a rush, you can grab a pouch of ready-made cookie dough and they’ll still be fabulous.
