How to Make Butter Pecan Turtle Cookies
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large bowl, combine 2 cups all-purpose flour and 1 cup packed light brown sugar. Use your fingers to mix until well combined.
- Stir in 1/2 cup (1 stick) melted unsalted butter until the mixture resembles coarse cornmeal.
- Spray a 13x9 inch baking pan with non-stick cooking spray. Pat the flour mixture evenly into the prepared pan.
- Sprinkle 1 cup pecan halves evenly over the crust.
- In a small saucepan, combine 2/3 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter and 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture boils for 1 minute and thickens to a syrupy consistency.
- Immediately drizzle the caramel mixture evenly over the pecans.
- Bake for 17-22 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the topping is bubbly.
- Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle 1 cup milk chocolate chips over the hot bars.
- Let the chocolate melt for a few minutes, then gently swirl a knife through the chips to create a marbled effect.
