Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  2. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
  3. In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  4. In a small cup, dissolve the espresso powder in the vanilla extract.
  5. In the top of a double boiler over hot, but not simmering water, melt the coarsely chopped chocolates with the butter, stirring frequently until smooth.
  6. Transfer the chocolate mixture to a large bowl. Using a wire whisk, stir in 1/2 cup of the sugar. Gradually stir in the eggs. Mix in the remaining 1 cup of sugar and the espresso/vanilla mixture. Stir in the flour mixture. Stir in the chopped nuts and chocolate chips.
  7. Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, drop the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between cookies. Insert 5 pecan halves around the bottom of each cookie to represent the turtle's 4 legs and head.
  8. Bake the cookies, 1 baking sheet at a time, for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookie's tops start to crack. Do not overbake; the cookies should be soft and fudgy.
  9. Cool the cookies on the sheets, set on a wire rack.
  10. Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days. These cookies freeze well.
