Instructions: Mix brown sugar, margarine, water and vanilla. Stir in flour and salt until dough holds together (if dough is dry, stir in 1-2 tsp. water). Heat oven to 350 degrees F. For each cookie, group 5 pecan halves (to form head and 4 legs like a turtle) on ungreased cookie sheet. Shape dough by teaspoonfuls around caramel pieces; press firmly onto center of each group of pecans. Bake until set but not brown, 12-15 minutes; cool. Dip tops of cookies in chocolate glaze.
