Holiday Treats: The Oddest Chocolate Cookie Recipe

By Evan Jones

Just because something is called a cookie does not necessarily mean that it has to be a round flat treat. Some cookies have additions that make them delicious, such as M&M's candies, others are flat and shaped like a cookie but are not made from cookie-like ingredients. A great chocolate cookie recipe features fun and tasty ingredients, and is very easy to make. It makes a great addition to this year's treat platter.

For one of the most fun recipes, only three simple ingredients are needed. In fact, you may have at least one in your pantry right now. You need pretzel rings or twists, caramel chocolate kisses, and pecan halves. Sounds very simple, right?

Begin by making sure to preheat your oven to no less than 300 degrees. Place your pretzels flat on a non-stick cookie sheet, as many as will fit, and fill your sheet. After that, place a kiss above every pretzel.

Bake this mixture until the chocolate is spongy, but not totally softened. To finish, draw the sheet from your oven and complement the mixture by topping it with the pecan halves on the pliable chocolate.

There are a broad range of Hershey's kisses and kinds of nuts that are suitable for this formula, and it is an enjoyable means of creating a very unique kind of delicacy on your holiday platter. Jumble up different types until you find your preference, or produce new mixtures of treats that go well with your individual appetite.

One average bag of candies will create lots of these turtle cookies; capable of creating eighty if you do not begin eating the treats while you are heating them. It is exceptionally enticing to nibble as you bake. Eighty cookies will extend a long time on a Christmas platter, but make certain to make additional treats if you are wishing for them to stay fresh, since they will be eaten quickly.
