Step-by-Step Instructions for Turtle Chocolate Chip Cookies
  1. Preheat your oven to 350ºF (175ºC) and prepare two baking sheets by lining them with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, and ½ teaspoon of salt until evenly blended.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, beat together ¾ cup of unsalted butter, ½ cup of brown sugar, and ½ cup of granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Add 2 large eggs to the mixture one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then mix in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined.
  6. Gently fold in 1 cup of chocolate chips, 1 cup of caramel bits, and ½ cup of chopped pecans using a spatula.
  7. Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded portions of dough onto prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes until the edges are lightly golden but the centers still look soft.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 to 7 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
  10. Consider drizzling melted chocolate and caramel over the cooled cookies and topping them with additional pecans.
