Chocolate Turtle Cookies are a type of cookie made with a rich chocolate cookie dough, loaded with caramel and pecans, and sometimes finished with a drizzle of melted chocolate. The cookies are named after the classic “Turtles” candy, which is a combination of pecans, caramel, and chocolate that resembles a turtle. The resulting cookie has a chewy or fudgy texture and the classic, decadent flavor combination of chocolate, caramel, and pecans.
