"I'm not sure what these were originally called, but the recipe came from a Pillsbury Bakeoff cookbook. These are my favorite cookies and I get requests for them all the time. They are a chocolate cookie topped with sugar and pecans and when you bite into them you get a delicious caramel surprise!"

  1. It's hard to please everyone in my family... but everyone either liked or loved these cookies (my DH thought they were a little too sweet). I got a similar cake mix recipe a while back, but wanted to make from scratch. Just great.... thank you! We made 42 cookies that were about 2.5 inches in diameter after baking. We used maybe about 2 T dough for each cookie. We were too lazy to do the pecans... and they are pricey, but I'm sure they would have been a great addition. : )

  2. I made these cookies a long time ago from the pillsbury recipe. The cookies were great and I really liked them. I think they were called turtle cookies? Over the course of time and events I had lost my recipe. I am so glad to find it again here! Thanks for posting!

  3. I made a double batch of these for the teachers at school. They were delicious right out of the oven, all gooey and yummy! They weren't quite as good after they cooled. A nice change up from your typical cookie. I have also made a similar recipe with peanut butter in the middle and I've heard about making these with sugar cookie dough and sprinkling with cinnamon and sugar. Overall, a nice cookie. Thanks!

  4. I made these for the holidays and they were a big hit with everybody. I overcooked the first batch, it was hard to tell when done because of the dark color, so just pay attention to the time instead of trying to base it on the look! Second batch was perfect, and the surprise filling was loved by all!

<p>I live here in Utah with my wonderful husband &amp; daughter.&nbsp;<br /> <br />I've been cooking since I was a kid, but really started to get interested in it over the last few years. I'm best at desserts and baking, but like to make just about anything. I especially love to entertain and cook for others. I'm not a picky eater and will try anything once. I'm always making new recipes so it's pretty rare if I make anything twice. These days cooking has me taking on a new challenge to find things that a picky 2 year old will eat and my husband and I will eat as well. It's not always easy but the successes are definitely worth the effort!</p>
