As you will see they were kind of a pain to make but truly, I think these are worth the effort. They taste like Turtle cookies! These are truly winner cookies that I can wholeheartedly recommend if you have the time, patience and love in your heart to make them.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Caramel Pecan Treasures by Suzie Ridler, on Flickr\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/27833778@N05\/4180617623\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm3.static.flickr.com\/2755\/4180617623_06459f87e8_b.jpg\" alt=\"Caramel Pecan Treasures\" width=\"275\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>This is an egg-free cookie dough and only requires butter, brown sugar, vanilla, flour and baking powder. I used a tablespoon to make the 1&#8243; balls and baked them at 325F for 12-15 minutes.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Caramel Pecan Treasures by Suzie Ridler, on Flickr\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/27833778@N05\/4181368474\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm3.static.flickr.com\/2486\/4181368474_068c9c6372_b.jpg\" alt=\"Caramel Pecan Treasures\" width=\"275\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>While they were baking I got some caramels and sliced them thinly and flattened which the recipe does not recommend but I thought a whole caramel was just too big. I made more work for myself but still stand beside this foodie decision.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Caramel Pecan Treasures by Suzie Ridler, on Flickr\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/27833778@N05\/4180606423\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm5.static.flickr.com\/4004\/4180606423_ff79feefd8_b.jpg\" alt=\"Caramel Pecan Treasures\" width=\"275\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Here comes the assembly line! You melt shortening into chocolate to make the drizzle and I recommend putting some chocolate on the bottom of the caramels to help them adhere to the cookie.
