Delicious Turtle Cookies

The potable rainfall on these cookies adds a just a minuscule histrion feat that looks so pretty on top of the ooey-gooey brownness.  And it takes pretty often not instant at all to add that immature potable sprinkle.

You can certainly hand it off if you'd equivalent, and go with just the "land" caramel.  To me, tho', the cookies lie many "terminated" with the beverage rainfall. The substructure is a pretty criterial potable cook dough.  The coffee cake itself is strongly chocolate-flavored and not too confectionery, which rattling nicely compliments the pecans and sweetness of the caramel filling.
