Hershey's cocoa 1/4 tsp. salt 1 c. pecans, finely chopped Caramel Filling (recipe follows) 1/2 c. Hershey's semi-sweet chocolate chips 1 tsp. shortening In small mixer bowl beat butter, sugar, egg yolk, milk and vanilla until creamy. Stir together flour, cocoa and salt; blend into butter mixture.

Dip each ball into egg white; roll in pecans to coat. Place on lightly greased cookie sheet. Press thumb gently in center of each ball. Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until set. Press center of each cookie with thumb to make indentation. Immediately spoon about 1/2 teaspoon Caramel Filling in center of each cookie. Carefully remove from cookie sheet; cool on wire rack. In small microwave-safe bowl place chips and shortening. Microwave at HIGH (100%) 1 minute or until softened; stir. Allow to stand several minutes to finish melting; stir until smooth. Place wax paper under wire rack with cookies. Drizzle chocolate mixture over top of cookies. Makes about 2 dozen cookies. CARAMEL FILLING: In small saucepan place 14 unwrapped light caramels and 3 tablespoons whipping cream. Cook over low heat, stirring often, until caramels are melted and mixture is smooth. | |

Castle Cook (Colorado) says:
I've made these for years and they are a family favorite! I misplaced the cookbook I have that has the recipe in it, so I was thrilled to find it here. These take some work with the extra steps of rolling, filling, and drizzling - but it is SO worth it!! I've won cookie contests with these as well - they really are THAT good!

This cookie is even better if you wait until the next day to eat! This is totally worth all the effort! I first found this recipe in my 1993 Great American Favorite Brand Name Cookbook, Choco-Caramel Delights, page 406. It also includes a chocolate drizzle on top. It has the same recipe name as this Cook.com recipe, and same ingredients and amounts. Cooks Country magazine shared this recipe in their Dec/Jan 2009 magazine, and in the America's Test Kitchen 2010 Holiday Cookies Special Edition. They called it Chocolate Turtle Cookies, and their ingredients and amounts are exact to this recipe, other than they specify to use unsalted butter, and they do not include the chocolate drizzle on top. Not sure of the true origin and history of this recipe that seems to have started with Hershey's brand, but I have not found this recipe online using their brand name or their name Choco-Caramel Delights other than this website, which states to use Hershey's ingredients. Original recipe drizzle is made with 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips and 1 tsp. shortening, melted in microwave until smooth, thn drizzled on top of cookies.
