1 1/2 c. sifted flour
1/4 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 c. butter
2 eggs
1/4 tsp. vanilla
Pecan or walnut halves
Chocolate frosting

Sift together flour, soda, and salt. Cream together butter and sugar thoroughly. Add 1 whole egg and 1 egg yolk and beat well. Stir in vanilla. Add dry ingredients and mix well. Arrange split pecan halves in groups of 3-5 on greased baking sheets to resemble head and legs of turtle. Roll rounded teaspoon of dough into balls. Dip bottom of each into remaining unbeaten egg white and press lightly onto nuts so tips of nuts show. Bake at 350 degrees for 10-13 minutes. Cool and frost tops with Chocolate Frosting.
