Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 15.25 ounces Butter pecan cake mix
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cups Chopped pecans
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the butter pecan cake mix, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. Stir until the mixture forms a thick cookie dough.
Fold in the chopped pecans until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Using a small cookie scoop or tablespoon, portion out the dough into 1.5-inch balls. Roll each ball lightly in granulated sugar to coat.
Place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading during baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are set and lightly golden. The centers may still look slightly soft, which is fine.
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy your Butter Pecan Crisps with a cup of coffee or tea, or store them in an airtight container for up to one week.
