Chocolate Chip Turtle Cookies Recipe
You might never go back to regular chocolate chip cookies after you try these turtle cookies! It’s one of my favorite ways to dress up store-bought cookie dough and no one will guess they’re not made from scratch! All that caramel, chocolate and pecans takes them to a whole new level.

📝 Preparation Steps
1
Place melted butter in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment (or a large bowl if using a hand mixer or stirring by hand). Add granulated and brown sugars and mix on low speed until the mixture is smooth. Mix in egg and vanilla extract and mix on medium speed until combined.
large egg1(170g) chocolate chips (semi-sweet or milk)1 cupvanilla extract1 teaspoon
2
Mix in baking soda and salt, then slowly mix in flour and mix just until the batter is smooth and comes together. Be sure to scrape the sides of the bowl during mixing. Slowly mix in chocolate chips.
3
Line a cookie sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper. Scoop 2 tablespoon balls of dough onto the cookie sheet. Spacing doesn’t matter because you will be chilling the dough. Cover with plastic wrap and chill for at least ⏱️ 30 minutes.
4
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a second cookie sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
5
Remove the chilled cookie dough balls from the refrigerator and space them 2-inches apart on the cookie sheets. Bake (2 tablespoon sized cookies) for ⏱️ 10-13 minutes (at this point they're under done still but they will keep baking while the Rolo heats up). They should be almost done around the edges and just slightly glossy in the center.
6
Remove the pans from the oven and place an unwrapped Rolo in the center of each cookie. Return to the oven for 2-3 additional minutes, until the Rolo looks melty and the cookies are done. Immediately press a pecan on top the Rolo after removing pans from the oven.
7
Cool completely before removing from cookie sheets. Store cooled cookies in an airtight container for several days or freeze for a few months.
