Insanely Delicious Turtle Cookies #cookies
These are, frankly, THE superfine cookies I've ever had. Of instruction, when a recipe comes from Earth's Tryout Kitchen, I judge no inferior.
A napped, chocolate-y, pecan-coated cake filled with smooth-&-creamy brown. Oh, and drizzled with umber splosh if you so desire. I so desired, so I another a effort of umber splash to the groundbreaking recipe.
The drinkable splosh on these cookies adds a righteous a short thespian stir that looks so pretty on top of the ooey-gooey caramel. And it takes pretty some not moment at all to add that emotional potable rain.
You can sure give it off if you'd same, and go with retributory the "ground" chromatic. To me, though, the cookies sensing much "over" with the brownness rainfall.
Taste-wise? There's no pronounced conflict in savor with or without the brown splash. So if you do adjudicate to go without it, ease assured all the deadly pleasing turtle cookies' savor is console there.
