Chocolate Turtle Christmas Cookies

2. In a medium bowl, sift together flour and baking soda. Set aside.
3. Cream together butter, brown sugar, and white sugar in a large bowl.
4. Beat in pudding mix.
5. Add vanilla and eggs, beating after each egg.
6. Blend in the flour mixture.
7. Stir in caramel bits, mini chocolate chips, and chopped nuts.
10. Roll dough into small balls.
11. Place cookie dough 2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet.
12. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes.

Notes:

If you have caramel bits on the bottom of your cookie dough ball, consider putting a little flour on the cookie sheet. The caramel bits have a tendency to stick!

The Emerald glazed pecans are found in the produce section at the grocery store and are definitely worth seeking out for this recipe!
