When I returned home I couldn't decide what type of cookies I wanted to make. The longer I thought about it the sleepier I got, but I still wanted to bake cookies so I knew I had to make something quick and easy. I saw the box of Betty Crocker butter pecan cake mix in the pantry and decided to make a batch of cake mix cookies. Michael loves butter pecan ice cream so I thought it would be a nice treat for him.
I love cake mix cookies because you only use one bowl so the clean up is a breeze and the prep time doesn't take very long at all. It is also very versatile, you can use any type of cake mix and any type filling. If you're feeling creative you can come up with any type of flavor combinations.
Ingredients
1 box butter pecan cake mix
½ cup butter, softened
2 eggs
1 cup chopped pecans
1 tsp vanilla
One of the eggs was shy. I also decided to add the vanilla after the the inital picture was taken.
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
In a medium bowl, stir together cake mix, butter, vanilla and eggs until well blended. (If you forget to take the butter out to soften you can grate it into the batter.)
Fold in pecans.
Spoon on to cookie sheet.
Bake for 10 to 12 minutes.
Allow cookies to cool on cookie sheet for 5 minutes before removing to a wire cooling rack to cool completely.
To make an even tastier treat, you can add ice cream and turn it into an ice cream sandwich.
Top with a second cookie.
Add chopped pecans around the edges.

Michael just said the same thing.
Wow these look amazing! I just realized you are the one who left me a comment on my blog asking how I do the comment pop up window... I replied on my blog but in case you didn't see it... just go to your blogger settings, click on comment under settings, then under comment form placement click on pop-up window. Hope this helps! I'm now following you :)
So excited to find this recipe, I had one very similar a few years ago and I have since misplaced, it was one of my brothers favorites and when he was returning from Afganistan I wanted to make these for him, I tried to get the recipe from my friends grandma who originally gave me the recipe, and she refused (crazy) so I have been on a search ever since. The only thing I need to add is toffee bits and this recipe is perfect, we call the Pecan Praline Cookies, and they are wonderful! Thanks so much for posting this!
