Best Ever Chocolate Chip Turtle Cookies
I’ve always loved TURTLES® candies. They’re the perfect combination of nuts, caramel, and chocolate, and they just make people happy. Especially me. I’ve previously baked TURTLES® candies into chocolate peanut butter cookies before. But I’ve never baked them into chocolate chip cookies, and I’m so glad I did! These turtle chocolate chip cookies are in my top 5 cookie recipes of all time. Yep, they’re that good. I adapted one of my recipes for chocolate chip cookies but rather than using softened butter, I browned it. That was an excellent decision because the nutty, rich flavor of the browned butter enhances the nutty flavor in the TURTLES® Minis Original Pecan flavor that I incorporated into the cookies. The Minis are about half the size of the classic candy, sold in bags, and I found them in the candy aisle of my regular grocery store. The cookies are big, bakery-style cookies. They’re wonderfully chewy from the melted butter, soft from the cornstarch, and loaded with texture from the chocolate chips and crunchy yet chewy TURTLES® Minis. There are so many layers of texture and flavor going on and I adored every bite. Browned butter, chocolate, caramel, vanilla. Yum!
