TURTLE COOKIE BARS

TURTLE COOKIE BARS, LOTS OF CHOCOLATE, CARAMEL AND A DELICIOUS SHORTBREAD BASE MAKES THESE COOKIES THE PERFECT ADDITION TO YOUR BAKING.

I love these Turtle Cookie Bars.So when I was flipping through a cookbook my Mom gave me when I first got married I found these amazing sounding Turtle Cookie Bars. These my friends were a definite must.

The shortbread is baked first and then topped with a delicious brown sugar caramel sauce and chopped walnuts, baked for another 10 minutes and then sprinkled with mini dark chocolate chips. Even the aroma was amazing.

Turtle Cookie Bars are a cross between a cookie bar and turtle candy. They’re a special treat for both chocolate and caramel lovers. Loaded with Rolo candies, chocolate and pecans all wrapped up in a buttery cookie batter. You can serve them without the ganache drizzle but, who would want to? They’re unapologetically rich and meant for sharing with the special people in your life.

INGREDIENTS:

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/2 cup butter, softened
2nd Layer
1 cup pecan halves or chopped pecans
2/3 cup butter
1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1 cup milk chocolate morsels

PREPARATION :

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine first 3 ingredients in a mixing bowl; beat at medium speed with an electric mixer until blended. Pat mixture firmly into an ungreased 13×9 inch pan.
Arrange pecans over crust.
Combine 2/3 cup butter and 1/2 cup brown sugar in a saucepan; bring to a boil over medium high heat, stirring constantly. Cook 3 minutes, stirring constantly. Pour mixture over pecans. Bake at 350 degrees for 15-17 minutes or until golden and bubbly.
Remove from oven; sprinkle with chocolate morsels. Let stand 2-3 minutes or until slightly melted. Gently swirl chocolate with a knife, leaving some morsels whole (do not spread). Let cool on a wire rack at room temperature until chocolate is set. Cut into squares.
