These are amazingly good. (So good I apparently forgot to take a display photo.) Another very simple recipe using a prepackaged mix to have a great dessert or treat, plus it's a candy-cookie combo, so I know it's a winner. I took these to work for a meeting and everyone loved them. They are very chocolatey so be warned, but they certainly live up to their name with the caramel and pecan cutting through with a sweet/salty flavor.
Again, from the Betty Crocker website, these were easy to prepare and because I'm obsessive, I actually have all the ingredients in the house on a regular basis. You could experiment with different candies and nuts, but just be warned--then they won't be turtles.
Turtle Cookie Cup
Ingredients
1 pouch (17.5 ounces) Betty Crocker double chocolate chunk cookie mix
3 Tablespoons oil (as called for on package)
1 Tablespoon water (as called for on package)
1 egg (as called for on package)
36 chocolate covered caramel candies, unwrapped
36 pecan halves
In a medium bowl, mix together cookie mix, oil, water and egg until all is moistened and you have a soft dough.
Grease the cups of a mini muffin tin (mine holds 24, so I worked in batches). Using a small cookie scoop, scoop dough into each muffin cup.
Bake at 375 degrees F for 8-9 minutes. Remove from oven and press a chocolate covered caramel into the center of each cookie cup. I found that pushing them in upside down gave me more of the effect I wanted.
Top with a pecan half.
Cool in pan for a few minutes, then remove to wire racks to cool completely. Repeat with remaining dough.
Makes 36 cookie cups.
Happy Baking,
The Cookie Princess
