Start with Connie's sugar cookie recipe above. (Okay I admit - I started with slice and bake, but you could just as easily buy them already baked!)

TURTLE COOKIES
Sugar Cookies
1 Bag Chocolate morsels
1 Bag Kraft Caramels
1 Bag Pecan Halves

Toast the pecans. Melt the chocolate and the caramels separately. Spoon a dallop of the caramel then a dallop of the chocolate on top of the baked sugar cookie and immediately put pecan half in warm center. Let set until chocolate and caramel harden.

Hey Sherry...I wish I'd seen this before I frosted all my sugar cookies! Now I'll have to make more!!! They sound so good!

Waistfull...I used to make monster cookies quite often when my kids were little! I'm so glad you posted that because I don't know if I still have the recipe! You are right...people of all ages love them!

Schatzie...your cookies sound so yummy! I wonder where I could get some of those little mints! We no longer have a candy store here. If I can't find any before Christmas, I'll try your recipe later when I've gotten some of those candies!

Yorkieangel...you cracked me up! LOL

Melissa...okay...I'll put the sugar peanuts on here as per your request! LOL

Connie · 12-13-2005, 08:57 PM

Okay...I know these aren't cookies, but they are a favorite holiday treat of my daughters.

Sugared Peanuts

2 cups raw peanuts, 1 cup sugar, 1/2 cup water

Use heavy saucepan. Combine peanuts, sugar, and water and place over medium heat, cook. Keep boiling and stir until mixture crystallizes and coats peanuts, about 10 minutes. Spread in a buttered cookie sheet. Sprinkle with a little salt and put in 300 degree oven for 15 minutes. Stir them around and bake 15 minutes longer. Cool and store in covered container.

This thread is turning into exactly what I had in mind!! Thanks everyone for posting!

Anyone else? I am SURE there are some more cookie bakers out there! Let's see your favorite recipe!

mmmmmmmmmmmmmm cookies.....

Well, they aren't exactly cookies, but they're awesome:

Oreo Balls
1 pkg cream cheese
1 pkg Oreo cookies
1 pkg white chocolate chips

Take cream cheese out of fridge to soften. Crush pkg of Oreos in blender or food processor. Put Oreo crumbs and cream cheese into a bowl and mash together (with hands) until completely mixed. Make balls out of mixtures and place onto a cookie sheet. Put in freezer for about 20 minutes to harden. Melt 1/3 of chips and coat balls. Repeat until all are covered. Keep refrigerated.

To make them festive, you can use red and green colored chips, or use white chocolate and drizzle red and green chocolate on top.

Here are some pointers about making these:
-Nestle white chocolate chips taste much better than store-brand chips- especially Walmart brand (for some reason)
-Smaller balls are better because they are quite rich (maybe about 1 1/2")
-You may want to freeze the balls between each round of coating with chocolate chips. If they sit out, they soften and are harder to coat (the hot chocolate melts them and they begin to look like cookies and cream ice cream!)
- They are a HUGE hit and highly addicting, so make sure that you make large quantities if bringing to a party!!

Hmmm... I'm not sure if you could mail them. If it's hot then they'll melt. I'm not up on the mail process, but if they're only inside a building for short period of time it would probably be okay. I'm not sure what the temperature is in KS (or where ever you're sending them) but right now it's colder here in NY than my freezer probably is!

Jaspermom · 12-17-2005, 09:45 AM

OK, last chance to share your cookies! I am going to start shopping for ingredients tomorrow, and incase someone missed this thread and really wants to contribute, please do!

Merry Christmas!

The mints can be found at almost any grocery store. They are in a clear baggy, different colors in pastel with white tiny sugar drops on them. Oh gosh, if you are unable to find them I would be more than happy to send you some. They are so worth it!!!

Schatzie...you are such a sweetheart to offer! Now I'm wondering if I have the wrong candies pictured in my mind. I will search the candy counters here and hopefully can figure out which ones they are. If I can't find any, I'll take you up on your offer! Not till after Christmas though...I'm done Christmas baking. I baked the last few days until my neck and back feel like they've been run over by a truck! One more thing...these candies...are they in a teardrop shape? That's the ones I've got pictured in my mind.
