One of my favorite Christmas cookie recipes if for turtle cookies. I would really love to make them this year, but need to Gluten Free them.... here's the ingredients....also....would bake times/temp change? I'm also thinking, chilling overnight would be better? Many thanks.. 1/2 cup butter, softened 1/2 cup packed brown sugar 1 egg 1 egg, separated 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 1/4 teaspoon baking soda 1/4 teaspoon salt 36 pecan halves 2 squares unsweetened chocolate (1 ounce) 1/4 cup milk 1 tablespoon butter 1 3/4 cups confectioner's sugar, sifted 1. Cream butter , gradually add brown sugar, beating at medium speed of an electric mixer until light and fluffy. 2. Add 1 egg, 1 egg yolk, and vanilla; beating until well blended. 3. Combine flour, baking soda and salt; add to creamed mixture, mixing well. 4. Chill dough at least 1 hour. 5. Arrange pecan halves in groups of 5 on ungreased cookie sheets, resembling head and legs of turtles. 6. Shape dough into 1-inch balls, and dip bottoms in remaining egg white. Press gently onto pecans to resemble turtle bodies. Bake at 350 degrees F (180 degrees C) for 10 to 12 minutes. Cool on wire racks. Spread frosting on top of cookies. 7. To Make Frosting: Combine chocolate squares, milk and 1 tablespoon butter or margarine in a small saucepan; cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until chocolate melts. Remove from heat. Add approximately 1 3/4 cups confectioner's sugar; beat until smooth
