Easy Butterscotch Pecan Cake Mix Cookies

Easy Butterscotch Pecan Cake Mix Cookies Recipe

• 1 (18.25-ounce) package butter pecan cake mix
• 1/3 cup butter, melted
• 2 large eggs
• 1 1/2 cup butterscotch baking chips
• 1 cup chopped pecans

1. Position an oven rack in the middle of the oven and preheat oven to 350F degrees. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper or nonstick foil or lightly spray with nonstick cooking spray.
2. In a large mixing bowl combine half the cake mix, butter and eggs with an electric mixer on medium high speed, until smooth.
3. Stir in the remaining dry butter pecan cake mix, butterscotch chips, and nuts with a wooden spoon just until combined and moistened.
4. Drop by teaspoonfuls onto prepared cookie sheets, about 2 inches apart.
5. Bake for 9 to 11 minutes or until the center is just barely set when lightly touched with your fingertip and the edges are firm.
6. Remove from the oven and allow cookies to cool on the cookie sheets for a minute or two.
7. Transfer the cookies to wire racks with a metal spatula and allow them to cool completely before storing.

This recipe yields about 4 1/2 dozen Butterscotch Pecan Cookies.
