Something a little different today – turtle cookies – a chocolate cookie with chocolate chips, chopped up pieces of caramel and finely ground pecans. 

Remember to scoop your flour from your flour bag into you measuring cup so you get the right amount (same goes for the baking cocoa).  I chilled these for about an hour before baking.  And preheat your oven just before baking.

• Ingredients list
• 1/2 cup butter, softened
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 egg
• 1/2 tbs corn syrup
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 1/4 cup unsweetened baking cocoa
• 1 1/4 cups flour
• 1 tsp cornstarch
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 cup milk chocolate chips
• 1/2 cup finely chopped caramel
• 1/2 cup pecans, finely ground

Directions – in a bowl, cream butter, sugar and brown sugar.  Add egg, corn syrup, and vanilla.  Blend in dry ingredients.  Fold in chips, chopped caramel and nuts.   Scoop out 1/4 cups of dough.  Chill and hour. When ready to bake, preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.  Stagger cookies on sheet (these don’t spread too much).  Bake 10 minutes, no longer.  Cool completely.  Store in covered container.

Thanks so much for stopping by.
