My favorite part of this recipe for Turtle Stuffed Cookies is the dough! So similar to shortbread! It is so easy to work with and you really can stuff them with anything your heart desires inside! I absolutely love stuffing these cookies with chocolate caramel treats and finishing it off with a candied pecan on top! Truthfully though, you are only limited by your imagination!
Turtle Stuffed Cookies are absolutely perfect on those days when you need something sweet and melt in your mouth delicious! I can’t wait to hear what you decide to stuff and decorate your cookies with!
I had to make a video to show you just how yummy these Turtle Stuffed Cookies truly are!
