White Chocolate Butter Pecan Cookies

There are days my family desperately craves cookies.  Not that I don't love them, but I get a little bored of plain old chocolate chip.  So, I start sorting through my stash of random baking supplies and I stumble upon a butter pecan cake mix.  Sounds good but I don't really have ingredients for frosting, and if I don't make something soon I'll have a riot on my hands. Then I stumble upon a box of white chocolate pudding. Ok, I can make this work.... I think.

White Chocolate Butter Pecan Cookies

Ingredients

1 box butter pecan cake mix

1 small box instant white chocolate pudding mix

1/2 cup vegetable oil

2 eggs

3/4 cup chopped pecans (optional)

Directions

1.  Preheat oven to 350.  Line two cookies sheets with parchment paper.

2.  Combine cake mix, pudding mix, oil, and eggs in a bowl until dough forms.  Mix in pecans.

3.  Using a cookie scoop or spoon roll dough in to one inch balls.  Place 2 inches apart on cookie sheets.

4.  Bake for 8 to 10 minutes until cookies are slightly golden in color.  Let cool 2 minutes then move to a wire rack.

Makes about 24 cookies

These were a BIG hit.  My husband says they are one of his favorite cookies.  Enjoy with a cup of coffee or glass of milk.
