Ingredients

1/2 cup packed brown sugar

1/2 cup margarine or butter, softened

2 Tbsp. water

1 tsp. vanilla

1 1/2 cups flour

1/8 tsp. salt

Pecan halves

8 vanilla caramels, each cut into fourths

Chocolate glaze (below)

Chocolate Glaze

1 cup powdered sugar

1 Tbsp. water

1 oz. unsweetened chocolate, melted

1 tsp. vanilla

Directions

Mix brown sugar, margarine, water and vanilla.

Stir in flour and salt until dough holds together (if dough is dry, stir in 1-2 tsp. water).

Heat oven to 350 degrees F.

For each cookie, group 5 pecan halves (to form head and 4 legs like a turtle) on ungreased cookie sheet.

Shape dough by teaspoonfuls around caramel pieces; press firmly onto center of each group of pecans.

Bake until set but not brown, 12-15 minutes; cool.

Dip tops of cookies in chocolate glaze.

Chocolate Glaze:

Beat powdered sugar, 1 tbsp. water, the chocolate and vanilla until

smooth. If necessary, stir in water 1 tsp. at a time until desired

consistency.

Very cute idea - love the caramel stuffed in the middle of the cookie batter...I will try to make these for the holidays (love chocolate and caramel and pecans!).
