Making cookies that taste like they are made from scratch could not be easier. Hand to God!
My son, Michael, started a recipe sharing group on Facebook. Michael is as big a foodie as I am and we both have a sweet tooth. He posted a recipe made from a cake mix that sounded okay, but it was made with a white cake mix and broken up Kit Kat® bars. I'm not a fan of Kit Kat® bars and white cake mix is so, ummm, white.
I had a pecan cake mix, pecans, and some butterscotch chips on hand and decided to make a variation of the recipe. They turned out absolutely delicious and were extremely easy to make.
Pecan Krackles
1 Pecan cake mix (I used a Betty Crocker Butter Super Moist® Pecan cake mix.)
2 eggs
6 Tablespoons butter melted, then allowed to cool. Use real butter. Don't substitute.
Butterscotch chips (about 3/4 C)
Chopped pecans (about 3/4 C)
Powdered sugar (about 1/2 C)
Mix first three ingredients well, stir in chips and pecans. Scoop about 1 teaspoon of dough, form in a ball and roll in powdered sugar. Place cookies about 2 inches apart on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in 350 degree oven for about 14 minutes.
Try to eat just one. I dare you.

I ate six of them and now feel sick. I'm a sugar addict, I have to admit.

Oh. Running away, not even reading.
Ugh! I read! Seriously, these sound so fabulous I feel like I need to make these tonight!
Linda Deleted user ⋅ August 14, 2013
Make them when you have a bunch of company so you don't eat them all. They are serious good.
