Chocolate turtle cookies combine rich chocolate dough with caramel and pecan toppings. They are chewy, sweet, and perfect for dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • 1/2 cup pecan halves for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together butter, white sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until well combined.
