Christmas time is filled with delicious cookies being made and exchanged left and right. This year I joined a group of awesome bloggers in a recipe swap.  The recipe for these yummy Turtle Snickerdoodles is brought to you by Home. Made. Interest.  A website run by two friends (Kat & Melinda) sharing their yummy recipes, fun crafts, beautiful decorating, and great party ideas.   Head over to their site to get my recipe for Frosted Cashew Cookies.  To see all the cookies/bloggers in on the exchange go HERE!

Chocolate turtles are one of my favorite Christmas candies.  I just love the combination of chocolate, buttery caramel, and nutty pecans.  Seriously, I’ll take turtle anything!  Turtle sundae’s, turtle brownies, turtle cupcakes, turtle cookies…

And let’s talk about Rolos– I am a big fan of them.  Along with a box of my favorite chocolates from See’s Candies, Santa always made sure to fill my stocking with a bag of them.  This year I’ll have to use them to make these cookie again.
