TURTLE THUMBPRINTS
Just like the famous candy--pecans, caramel and chocolate team up in this bite-sized cookie.
Preparation time: 20 min
Baking time: 7 min
Yield: 4 dozen cookies
Cookie Ingredients:
2/3 cup LAND O LAKES? Butter, softened
1/2 cup sugar
2 egg yolks
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
Filling Ingredients:
20 caramels, unwrapped
2 tablespoons LAND O LAKES? Heavy Whipping Cream
48 pecan halves
Drizzle Ingredients:
1 cup real semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 tablespoon shortening
- Combine butter, sugar, egg yolks and vanilla in large bowl. Beat at medium speed until creamy. Reduce speed to low; add flour. Beat until well mixed. Cover; refrigerate until firm (at least 1 hour).
- Heat oven to 375°F. Shape dough into 1-inch balls. Place 1 inch apart onto ungreased cookie sheets. Make indentation in center of each cookie with thumb. (Edges may crack slightly.) Bake for 7 to 10 minutes or until edges begin to brown. Cool completely. Store cookies in a container with a tight-fitting lid for 2 to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
- On serving day, combine caramels and whipping cream in medium microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on HIGH 1 minute; stir. Continue microwaving 1 minute or until melted; stir until smooth. Spoon about 1/2 teaspoon caramel mixture into center of each cookie. Top with pecan half.
- Place chocolate chips and shortening in small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on HIGH 1 minute; stir. Continue microwaving 30 seconds or until melted; stir until smooth. Drizzle over cookies. Let stand until set (about 2 hours).
- Recipe Tip
To store drizzled cookies, arrange cookies between layers of waxed paper in a container with a tight-fitting lid. Store at room temperature for 1 to 2 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
- Recipe Tip:
Place cookies on a cooling rack over a piece of waxed paper to catch any extra chocolate drizzle.
- Recipe Tip:
If caramel filling gets too thick, reheat in microwave for 10 to 15 seconds until it becomes spoonable again.

You can even do a search by what ingredients you want or don't want. And there's reviews by people who have made it so you can get an idea of what to expect too. I even found a recipe on there for homemade fortune cookies! If there's something new I want to try, for meals or deserts, I always look it up on there.

OLD - FASHIONED OATMEAL COOKIES

3 tbsp. honey
2 eggs

Shape the dough into 2 inch balls. Place about 9 balls on each cookie sheet, then flatten each with the palm of your hand to make large cookies. Bake until lightly browned, about 15 minutes. Immediately remove the cookies to wire racks to cook completely. 2 dozen large cookies.
OLD FASHIONED CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES
1 1/8 c. sifted flour
1/4 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 c. solid Crisco
1/4 c. brown sugar
1/2 c. granulated sugar
1 egg, beaten
1 tsp. vanilla
8 oz. semi-sweet chocolate bits
1/2 c. walnuts
Sift flour, soda and salt together. Set aside. Cream shortening and sugars together. Add egg and vanilla, blend thoroughly. Add sifted ingredients. Fold in walnuts and chocolate bits. Drop from teaspoons onto greased baking sheet. Bake in 350 degree oven about 10 minutes. (I always double the recipe.)
Simplest things are often the best. Preheat oven to 350 and grease a cookie sheet. Cream 1 stick butter-or-marg with 1 cup white sugar. When fluffy beat in 1 large egg, then 1 tsp good vanilla, 1/4 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp baking powder. Gradually add about 1 1/2 to 2 cups plain flour, combine till no lumps remain & mixture is stiff but still mixable. Drop the dough in tbsps on the cookie sheet and bake until Just starting to color - about 12 mins. Remove from oven & cool on a wire rack.
Meantime make chocolate icing - cream 1/2 stick butter with 1 cup confectioner's sugar and 1/8 cup good quality cocoa powder plus a drop of vanilla, beat till spreadable, add a bit of milk if needed. When the cookies are cool frost each with a tsp of chocolate icing. Pop a pecan or walnut half on top of each.
If you sprinkle these with cinnamon sugar instead of icing them, you've got snickerdoodles.
