Prize Winning Turtle Cookie Recipe

[MinecraftPeanut]

COOL!! i live in chicago, or close to it

[SuperNafster]

without the chocolate wafer on top, would glaze work aswell?? plz reply

[yoyomax12]

@SuperNafster You can use whatever coating you want on these cookies.

[christiangirl878]

I bet Romano would enjoy these!

[PolonskayaVEVO]

can you use small pretzel sticks instead of pecans?

[yoyomax12]

@PolonskayaVEVO yes

[ilovespencersmith106]

Awwww i like the full intro better :( (not just the "lets see what's cookin its time for yoyomaaaaaaaaax 12")

[ayummykay]

omg I am CRACKING UP at those advertisements that pop up in the beginning of the video. the last one I watched was for weight loss surgery, the one before was for diabetes, and now this one is for heart attack prevention!

[yoyomax12]

@ayummykay

Two responses to this:

1.Clearly you will need all of those if you eat all of these cookies yourself ;)

2. All ads are personalized to the person watching, people don't get all the same ads and are sometimes based on viewing habits, so watch more salad videos. :)

[puppie406]

@yoyomax12 wow, they're based on viewing habits?! no wonder geek2geek and world of Warcraft ads come on! i need to stop watching nerdy videos..waaaaait.... scratch that, that's just me. and i also got the diabetes commercials on your videos because i watch them so often! LOL, i thought they were just random.

[yoyomax12]

@puppie406 I don't they are based completely on viewing habits, but also googling habits. I did a recent search for a new camera and I had camera ads on my channel for a while after that. Google is watching .

[puppie406]

@yoyomax12 every google. every time. XD lol i'll google less awkward stuff then, cause' i get the weirdest pop ups. thanks for letting me know! :D

~ps. i love all your stuff, im doing the taco candymelting wafers thingy for my friend's bitrhday, i must

[puppie406]

@puppie406 say that you are very talented **i ran out of room on the other one :P

[ilovespencersmith106]

@ayummykay I think youtube is implying something.....

[YummyBaking]

Thanks but semi sweet?is da dark chocolate or cooking chocolate

[yoyomax12]

@YummyBaking Yes it is a darker chocolate (not milk chocolate)

[yoyomax12]

@YummyBaking But feel free to use whatever kind of chocolate you want for this recipe, won't make a lot of difference

[YummyBaking]

Yoyomax for frosting which chocolate does u use?

[yoyomax12]

@YummyBaking semi sweet chocolate chips

[goldangel100]

whaa! you have the same silicon mat as chef John!!!! from food wishes!!!!! :):):)

[devilishandlovinit14]

Did you re-do these with the icing sugar frosting? If you did then did it still dry as hard or did it stay soft? Please Respond!

[yoyomax12]

@devilishandlovinit14 I haven't re-done these since this video

[1Hom3slice1]

You should have added a turtle shell design on the back, or crushed some pecans and sprinkled them decoratively. Might have been a nice touch.

[MoustachePotato801]

where do u get all your cute cooking things? Like your teapot and your measuring cups.

[yoyomax12]

@MoustachePotato801 teapot was a wedding gift 20 years ago (from sears I thing) the cups were found at a thrift store

[iLeap7253]

Where's the turtle tail?

[iLeap7253]

PLEASE!! I LUV VANILLA. can u upload a video?

[yoyomax12]

@iLeap7253 Search my channel page, I did the vanilla

[kaitybby123]

Your canadian, how do you not have maple extract??

[yoyomax12]

@kaitybby123 pretty weird huh? lol

[brastrap27]

@kaitybby123 I'm Canadian and I haven't got any maple extract, but I've got lots of maple syrup.

[XxSekoyaxX]

would you be able to put them on a cupcake and put frosting on instead of pecans?

[yoyomax12]

@XxSekoyaxX That would work :)

[yoyomax12]

@XxSekoyaxX That would be cute!

[jazzzzz75]

can i do 6 pecans since turtles have tails

[yoyomax12]

@jazzzzz75 You can change these up any way you like :)

[RhubarbSugar]

Is there something else you could use besides pecans? I'm really allergic to them.

[yoyomax12]

@RhubarbSugar Pretzel sticks?

[RhubarbSugar]

@yoyomax12 Oh that's cute! I'm gonna go with making them pink and stick them on cupcakes for Valentine's Day with some of your gumdrop flowers.

Thanks for the idea though!

-your #1 fan from New York

(P.S. I'm 11 and I squealed when I saw your comment. <3 )

[laurenboren94]

I LIKE TOYTALS!!!!

[Kaitlynn992]

Polar Ice. VODKA lol

[McSmarties21]

I love your measuring ( cups) could you tell me where where you got them?

[yoyomax12]

@McSmarties21 I found them in a local second hand thrift shop many many years ago 

[Singmywaythroughlife]

i think you should do a tour of your fridge? haha :D

[Jmwrig02]

>.> You drink vodka?! .....

[yoyomax12]

@Jmwrig02 sigh...did you watch the video? another sigh...

[mrsjanefro]

*howl* We don't have any pecans. :( I feel like in the deepest ass of the Earth...

[mayhyuga]

[lidoflower]

@mayhyuga im sure you can:) shes just doing a tutorial but you can always change it up and be inspired by things and put your own pizzazz in it

[sooouuuuper]

also at the bulk barn i was waiting for a store manager to jump out and go BOooOHHHH lol

OMG i cant decide which ones are the cutest the melting snowmen or these ~ $25,000 she was nearly a millionaire that would have been a lot of money it would be a lot of money today for a cookie recipe

[yoyomax12]

@sooouuuuper I made the gumdrop tree with the red and green gumdrops

[babyOfwinter]

[yoyomax12]

[dustbusterz]

[yoyomax12]

[JaniceFun87]

I made these last night!!! They were sooo good ^_^ but I added in 4 tbs of butter instead of 1 to the frosting T.T Oops! But they were still really good :D

[idahliaify]

You should make thumb print cookies with apricot, strawberry and grape jam. Yum.

[mct3us]

[Taylomq]

[barbiebratzdoll229]

[yoyomax12]

@barbiebratzdoll229 It's in the description box.

[barbiebratzdoll229]

@yoyomax12 oh, i thought you hurt yourself!

[SeansFood]

$25k in 1953 is the equivalent of $2,124,428.84 today.

:O

[jumpinjacob]

$25, 000 for them?! You've made much better recipes! You deserve millions!

[edvinasal]

@jumpinjacob But don't forget that not all of her recipes.



[AnimeSisterForever]

I'm really sad for the turtles because they are becoming endanger...Too bad, we cannot stop our temptation but to eat those turtles. Just want to say something before you eat them-Best wishes to you turtles...You can probably swim in the tummy while getting broken from stomach acid.

[elenanichlou]

[yoyomax12]

@Rienei Use butter that has been brought to room temperature and stir with a wooden spoon, that's pretty much it.

[MacBookPro56]

[jcrefasi1]

The bakeries here use a regular chocolate frosting. I always scrape half the frosting off as it is so sweet it'll make your eyes cross. Your "accidental" icing looks like a winner to me!! I'll give these a try for thanksgiving.

Thanks for the background info. Enjoyed it

[mrspamelawilson]

Yes yes yes! I would love to make my own vanilla! Please post a video! Also, these look delicious!

[patchfilms]

[DLP1962]

Hungry Hubby asked me to steal this from you....

[AuntDuddie]

@AuntDuddie and we found out at See's candy that "Turtles" as the term meaning a candy is a copyrighted trademarkey thingie. How on earth did we live all these years not knowing that Hungry Hubby's favorite candy was so protected by the law???

[pickledshoe]

[snackslover]

[edvinasal]

Can I use the chocolate frosting to frost a cake??? :DDDD

[funhun224]

Is the cookie soft like almost cake or is it crunchy ? If it is crunchy, what would be a good soft cake like cookie?

[yoyomax12]

@funhun224 It is slightly crunchy

[funhun224]

Thank you so much for sharing...

Surie

[yoyomax12]

@KINDERKRAFTS What I didn't show was that there was a disclaimer on the bottom of the recipe saying that these were not like the turtle candies sold by such-and-such. I didn't know turtle candies had been around that long.

[florah3]

@KINDERKRAFTS those turtle cookie are literal turtle animal, not the turtle chocolates

[Hihistables]

Yum

[LoesChoices]

@yoyomax12 Magical powers!

[oasisfan1994]

[firelilly08]
