My friend Christy made these a couple of days ago and they were so delicious, I put them on the menu for Sunday dessert. They start with a layer of chocolate chip cookie dough on the bottom , followed by drizzled caramel ice cream topping, crushed pretzels, pecans andthen to finish it off, another layer of cookie dough on top. Pure heaven. Even better with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side. My pictures turned out really bad, so I used the one from Jenny's website. (Just FYI mine did not look a lot like hers. Instead of scooping the extra dough out of a cookie scoop, I just pressed it down over all the toppings so the finished look was a lot like a normal chocolate chip cookie bar. I might try it the other way next time because hers do look really pretty.)
Sweet and Salty Turtle Cookie Bars
slightly adapted from Picky Palate
2 sticks softened butter
3/4 Cup sugar
3/4 Cup brown sugar
2 eggs 1 teaspoon vanillla
2 1/2 Cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon salt
2 Cups chocolate chips
3/4 Cup caramel ice cream topping
1/2 Cup chopped pretzel sticks
1/2 Cup chopped pecans
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a stand or electric mixer cream butter and sugars until well combined. Add eggs and vanilla until well combined. Place flour, baking soda and salt into a large bowl and slowly add to wet ingredients. Stir in chocolate chips. 2. Spray a 11x7 inch baking dish with cooking spray. Press 1/2 of the cookie dough into the bottom of the dish. Drizzle caramel sauce over dough then sprinkle with pretzels and nuts . With a cookie scoop, scoop the remaining cookie dough evenly over top of pretzels and nuts. Press down slightly, should look uneven. Bake for 22-25 minutes or until cookies just start to turn golden on the edges. Remove and let cool completely before cutting into squares. 12 bars

Those look amazing! I can't wait to try them. I love them because they are so different than your average brownie. Yum!
They really were good. I'd love to try it with a brownie base too! The chocolate thumbprints look delicious! I agree, Martha is seriously delusional about the serving sizes. It seems like she's always way off.
