Reviews
I love turtle candy so had to try this recipe. Loved the end product! They taste delicious and so remind me of my favorite candy. It's hard to beat this flavor combination.
I find it interesting that Kansas's favorite cookie comes from a recipes from a lady in Arkansas.
I made these cookies for my co-workers and had lots of compliments and requests for the recipe. They are super fudgy and easy to make. I made some adjustments, choosing to use the stove top to melt the chocolate and mix the dough. Be sure to take the cookies out on time--they will not appear to be cooked, but will firm up after cooling. I also added a white chocolate drizzle to mine, which looked pretty.
These are excellant cookies. I made them for Thanksgiving and have made them several times since then. They are a mixture of cookie and candy. Several friends have asked for the recipe also.
