Turtle Cookies image

A recipe I got from a Gooseberry Patch cookbook, contributed by Cheri Emery, using a cake mix. It's posted as written, but I used 5 pecan halves to give them 4 legs and a head!:) I also added a rolo inside each so when you bite into them you get caramel too! It's important the dough is completely covering the rolo or it will seep out!

These cookies were a disappointment. They were dry and the caramel filling was too sweet.

The cookies were a bit too crumbly, but the caramel filling was perfect. I would recommend using a different cookie recipe next time.
