Ingredients
Scale
Cookie Dough
- 15 oz box Butter Pecan Cake Mix
- 2 Eggs
- 1/4 Cup Oil
- 1/4 Cup Butter, melted
Mix-ins and Topping
- 1/2 Cup Toffee bits
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to get it ready for baking the cookies.
- Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the butter pecan cake mix, eggs, oil, and melted butter. Stir all ingredients well until fully incorporated and smooth. Avoid adding the toffee bits at this stage.
- Form Cookies: Using a spoon, drop dollops of cookie dough onto a parchment-lined cookie sheet. If the dough feels sticky, wet your spoon or finger to help shape each mound into a round sphere. Use the tines of a fork to gently press down on each cookie, creating a decorative flattened top.
- Add Toffee Bits: Sprinkle a small amount of toffee bits on top of each cookie before baking for an added crunch and sweetness.
- Bake Cookies: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes or until the edges turn golden brown. For softer cookies, bake closer to 10 minutes; for firmer cookies, bake up to 12 minutes.
- Cool Cookies: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 2 to 3 minutes to firm up before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- To keep cookies softer, slightly underbake them and remove from oven once edges are golden but centers still appear soft.
- Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
- You can substitute the oil with an equal amount of melted butter for a richer flavor.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days for maximum freshness.
- Adding nuts or chocolate chips is a delicious way to customize these cookies.
