"If you've spent any time on r/Old_Recipes, you know the archive is deep. Between the Jell-O salads, mayonnaise cakes, and mystery casseroles, every now and then I stumble upon a recipe that makes me pause and think, wait...that actually sounds delicious. Enter: Maxine Perry's Turtle Cookies, a handwritten recipe card posted by a redditor that immediately sent the vintage cookbook side of my brain into full excitement mode."
"Despite the name, this is not a traditional caramel-pecan "turtle" situation that comes in tins at the grocery store. These are actually fudgy, brownie-esque cookies made in a waffle iron, topped with a glossy, silky chocolate glaze. To make them more like classic turtle cookies, you can add pecan pieces, but I decided to follow the original poster's suggestion and omit the pecans."
Maxine Perry's Turtle Cookies are a vintage handwritten recipe for fudgy, brownie-esque cookies cooked in a waffle iron and finished with a glossy, silky chocolate glaze. The cookies depart from traditional caramel-pecan turtles; pecans are optional. The preparation calls for melting butter and unsweetened chocolate over low heat, stirring in sugar, cooling slightly, then whisking in eggs, vanilla, and salt. The batter yields brownie-like cookies with a shiny chocolate topping. The recipe appeals to vintage cookbook collectors and home bakers seeking nostalgic holiday treats and unconventional methods like using a waffle iron for cookies.
