Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 15 oz box Butter Pecan Cake Mix
- 1/2 cup Toffee bits
Wet Ingredients
- 2 Eggs
- 1/4 cup Oil
- 1/4 cup Butter, softened
Instructions
- Preheat and Combine Ingredients: Preheat your oven to 350°F. In a large mixing bowl, combine the butter pecan cake mix, eggs, oil, and softened butter. Mix all ingredients thoroughly until the dough is smooth and uniform.
- Prepare the Cookie Dough: Spoon the dough onto a parchment-lined cookie sheet. If the dough feels sticky, wet your spoon or finger slightly and shape the dough mounds into neat round spheres. For extra decoration, gently press the tines of a fork into the top of each cookie to create a patterned flat surface. Sprinkle a small amount of toffee bits on top of each cookie before baking.
- Bake the Cookies: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes or until they turn golden brown. For softer cookies, bake on the lower end of the time range. Once done, let the cookies rest on the baking sheet for 2 to 3 minutes to set before transferring them to a cooling rack to cool completely.
Notes
- If the dough is too sticky to work with, slightly wetting your hands or spoon can make shaping easier.
- Baking time affects texture: less time results in softer cookies, more time results in crisper edges.
- Butter should be softened, not melted, to ensure the right dough consistency.
- Using parchment paper prevents cookies from sticking and promotes even baking.
