1package (16 ounces)refrigerated (ready to bake) chocolate-chip cookie dough*
1package (4.7 ounces)turtles candies (I used DeMet's Original Turtles found at Smiths/Kroger)
1/2cupmilk, dark, or semi-sweet chocolate chips
Optional: 1/4 teaspoon shortening
Instructions
Preheat the oven according to cookie package directions. Bake cookies on parchment or silpat lined baking sheets according to package directions.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 2 minutes and then press a turtle candy into the center of each cookie. Let cool 3 minutes and then remove from cookie sheets to cooling racks. (Cool completely, about 30 minutes.)
Once cooled, place the chocolate chips (and shortening if desired; makes it a little easier to drizzle) in a microwave safe bowl. Microwave in bursts of 15 seconds, stirring in between each burst for 10 seconds until the chocolate is melted and smooth.
Spoon the melted chocolate in a drizzle over each cookie.
Allow to set up at room temperature.
Best enjoyed within 2-3 days.
