Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 36 pecan halves
  • 2 (1 oz) squares unsweetened chocolate
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1 3/4 cups sifted confectioners' sugar

Directions:

  1. Cream butter or margarine, gradually add brown sugar, beating at medium speed of an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
  2. Add 1 egg, 1 egg yolk, and vanilla; beating until well blended.
  3. Combine flour, baking soda and salt; add to creamed mixture, mixing well.
  4. Chill dough at least 1 hour.
  5. Arrange pecan halves in groups of 5 on ungreased cookie sheets, resembling head and legs of turtles.
  6. Shape dough into 1-inch balls, and dip bottoms in remaining egg white. Press gently onto pecans to resemble turtle bodies. Bake at 350 degrees F (180 degrees C) for 10 to 12 minutes. Cool on wire racks. Spread frosting on top of cookies.
  7. To Make Frosting: Combine chocolate squares, milk and 1 tablespoon butter or margarine in a small saucepan; cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until chocolate melts. Remove from heat. Add approximately 1 3/4 cups confectioner's sugar; beat until smooth.
