Did you think for a moment that I forgot about my usual 12 days of cookies? Because I did. How can it be December already? I feel like we barely finished last year’s 12 days of cookies!
This one’s a great one to start with… caramel, pecans, and chocolate all wrapped up in one buttery dough. This is one rich cookie.
Usually, turtle chip cookies and ice cream tend to have a chocolate base. Since I prefer vanilla over chocolate, these cookies won me over. The chocolate chips was enough chocolate for this gal.
These cookies have the perfect crinkle on top and turn a gorgeous shade of golden brown.
This is certainly a cookie to consider adding to your Christmas list.

How Many does this make?
Yum! I can’t wait to try these. I am with you – too much chocolate is overkill. I much prefer a vanilla cookie.
