Thick, chewy chocolate cookies filled with caramel bits, pecans and melty chocolate chips. Classic turtles in cookie form.
Well, 9 months from my last post and a lot has changed. I now have two “helpers” in my kitchen, Cameron, who is 1.5 year old and new little girl, Ashtyn. It slows things down and makes everything a bit more messy, but I’m loving the slow pace of life at home with two littles. I’m excited to be home with them full time and have a bit more time for blogging.
I wish I could say that I typed up this post one rainy afternoon while they both took a nap (just like I imagined months ago), but the reality is that I typed it in bits and pieces between naps and fits and feeding sessions.
Hopefully, I’ll be able to share recipes and life snippets here a little more frequently, then past days. I love this little creative outlet of mine and I’m excited to work on it during naps and the rare quite moments I get here and there.
These turtle cookies use the same dough as my triple chocolate cookies and caramel stuffed double chocolate cookies. It’s my go-to chocolate cookie dough that always yields a nice thick, chewy cookie. I was craving something a bit different and threw in some caramel bits and pecans along with the chocolate chips for a fun chocolate turtle cookie variation. Plus, by adding pecans, I guarantee myself the entire batch since Tyler doesn’t like them.
Does anyone else keep a stash of cookies in the freezer for cookie emergencies? It’s pretty dangerous, but who wants to stir up a batch from scratch when the cookie craving hits? 🙂 These are perfect for stashing in the freezer. Either eat them straight from the freezer or warm them up in the microwave for a few seconds.
When a chocolate craving hits, I’m also tempted to try these Copycat Levain Bakery Double Chocolate Cookies or these Soft Chocolate M&M Cookies
