Holiday Treats: Non-Traditional Tasty Chocolate Cookie Recipe

By Evan Jones

Not all cookies are what we would traditionally see as cookies. Some are additions to cookies that we know and love (like ice cream between two chocolate chip cookies), while others make the basic shape and size of a cookie but are not made like a cookie in the least. A fun chocolate cookie recipe is not actually a cookie, but tastes great and is an excellent alternative to traditional cookies.

For a very tasty recipe, you need only three very simple ingredients that may already be in your kitchen. You simply need to find pretzel twists or rings, chocolate kisses (caramel chocolate work best), and some pecans that are halved.

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.

You can use multiple types of Hershey's kisses to make this treat, and almost any type of nut will taste great. This is a tasty way to get creative with your holiday party platter, and you can even make several different types to add to the same platter. The key is to go with the flow and use what works for you.

One bag of kisses will make a lot of these turtle cookies, up to eighty if you do not start munching the kisses while you are baking the treats. It is very tempting to snack as you go. Eighty cookies will go a long way on a party platter, but be sure and make more if you are hoping for them to last, because they will go fast. - 29885
