Chocolate Turtle Cookies combine rich chocolate, gooey caramel, and crunchy pecans, creating a chewy, decadent treat. These cookies are perfect for chocolate lovers and a great addition to any dessert table.

Ingredients

1 cup flour

⅓ cup cocoa powder

½ teaspoon salt

8 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened

⅔ cup sugar

1 large egg, separated

1 egg white

2 tablespoons milk

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 ½ cups pecans, chopped

15 soft caramel candies

3 tablespoons heavy cream

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or spray with cooking spray.
  2. In a bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy (about 1-2 minutes).
  3. Mix in the egg yolk, milk, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Add to the wet mixture and stir until just combined.
  5. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 1 hour or until firm.
  6. Form the dough into 1-inch balls. Whisk the egg white in a bowl and dip each ball into the egg white, then roll in chopped pecans.
  7. Place cookie balls on the baking sheet and make an indentation in each with a ½-teaspoon measure.
  8. Bake for 12-14 minutes until set. Let cool for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
  9. While baking, microwave the caramel candies and heavy cream for 1 minute, stirring until smooth.
  10. When the cookies come out of the oven, gently press the indentations again and fill them with about ½ to 1 teaspoon of the caramel mixture.
  11. Let cool completely on a wire rack.

Notes

  • For best results, use high-quality caramel candies for a smoother texture.

Don’t overbake to ensure the cookies stay soft and gooey in the center.

Chilling the dough helps prevent spreading, keeping the cookies thicker.
