I love me some easy cookie recipes that make little mess in my kitchen. In fact, last Christmas my kids and I made about 40 batches of cake mix cookies for our neighbors. We were on a really tight money and time budget, so cake mix cookies were cheaper and quicker to make. I got loads of compliments and no one knew these cookies came for a cake mix —- tah da!

Did I mention these cookies have pecans in them? Oh, yes. One of my favorite nuts on the planet. Pecans and chocolate should be related. Totally. In fact, I think we need to start a group demanding that pecans are always included with recipes that are chocolate. Not really. Just checking to see if you’re reading anything instead of just drooling over the cookie pics!
