Butter Pecan Cake Mix Cookies
These butter pecan cake mix cookies are slightly cakey with gooey chocolate and crunchy bits of pecan and toffee.
Ingredients
- 1 15.25 oz Butter Pecan Cake Mix or 13.25 oz
- 1/2 cup salted butter melted and slightly cooled
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup pecans finely chopped
- 1 cup toffee bits
- 1/4 cup flour or cake mix from another box optional
Instructions
- Mix the cake mix, melted and cooled butter, and the eggs together until combined well with an electric mixer. This should only take a minute or so. Make sure to scrape the sides of the bowl a couple of times.
- If the dough is very soft and will not hold its shape, add 1/4 cup flour or 1/4 cup extra cake mix from another box. This is optional.
- Stir in the semi-sweets, pecans and toffee bits. The dough will be very thick at this point.
- Cover the dough and chill for 1 hour.
- When the hour is up, preheat the oven to 365 degrees and line your cookie sheets with parchment paper.
- Drop heaping tablespoons of dough onto the cookie sheet, using your fingers to make the dough balls kind of tall. This will ensure that the cookies stay rather thick and puffy instead of flattening out.
- Bake the cookies for 9 to 10 minutes.
- Leave the cookies on the cookie sheet for about 5 minutes and then remove to a wire rack or board to cool completely.
