I'm always on the lookout for new cookie recipes and I found one that was completely and utterly delish. Although I'm not traditionally a "boy" cookie fan, this one was more the better due to the nut factor. So here ya go, the cure to PMS and any issues of depression you maybe facing ;-).
Chocolate Turtle Cookies
1 cup of room temperature butter
1 1/2 cups of sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
2 cups unbleached flour
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1 tsp baking soda
pinch of salt
1 cup of chocolate chips (can be milk or white chocolate)
1/2 cup chopped pecans
8 wrapped caramels, each cut into four pieces
Cream the butter and sugar together, and then add in the eggs and vanilla. In another bowl, mix all the dry powder ingredients and then slowly add them to the creamed batter. After the dough is well mixed, fold in the chips, nuts, and caramel chunks and then refrigerate for at least four hours. If you do not chill your dough, the caramels will sink to the bottom and stick to the pan. I chilled mine overnight and they came out perfect. Roll your chilled dough into balls and bake for 8-10 minutes at 350 degrees. When the cookies are sufficiently cooled, you can drizzle additional caramel on top for a special effect.
This dough would also make a great chocolate chip cookie dough base as it has a great flavor and is very chewy. Let me know what you think!
