These turtle cookies are made with fudgy chocolate cookie dough that is filled with chopped pecans, stuffed with caramel, and topped with chocolate drizzle.

Into a large mixing bowl, add the cooled melted butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, vanilla extract, and kosher salt.

Mix with a whisk until combined.

Add the egg and egg yolk and mix well.

Sift the cocoa powder, flour, and add the baking soda, and mix until almost combined.

Add chocolate chunks and chopped pecans and mix until just combined. Dont overmix.

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the dough rest in the fridge for at least an hour.

Use a cookie scooper to scoop out the cookies or scoop the cookies with a regular tablespoon, 1 ½ tablespoon at a time.

Make a hole using your thumb in the middle of the cookie dough ball and stuff it with the caramel. Roll it into a ball.

Dip the cookie dough balls into chopped pecans.

Bake in a 180c (350f) preheated oven for 10 minutes.

Melt dark chocolate and drizzle the cookies with the melted chocolate. This is optional.
