I’ve always enjoyed the flavor of “Butter Pecan.” Whether in cake, brownies, cookies or in ice cream, its aways been one of my favorite dessert combinations. Back in September the stores were already setting up fall baking kiosks as well as for Halloween. I ended up buying about 15 boxes of Butter Pecan Cake Mix, figuring I would use them for holiday baking. I sure did! 🙂 I also purchased Gingerbread Cake Mix and Pumpkin Spice Cookie Mix for our holiday baking this year. All of those 5-ingredient recipes turned out wonderfully.

These adorable cookie cups are so easy to put together, even your kids can do it. In about a half an hour, you can have a delectable dessert ready to go. Just pop the cookie cups out off the miniature muffin tins and add a heaping dollop of Butter Pecan ice cream if you desire. Truly, they’re everything you can want in a dessert if you’re able to enjoy nuts.

Butter Pecan White Chocolate Cookie Cups have a cookie-type texture. They are NOT cake-like or muffin-like in texture.

These will be a hit at any tailgating party.

Great Butter Pecan flavor plus white chocolate chips = AMAZING!

This easy 5-ingredient recipe can be ready to serve in about 30 minutes!

Here’s what I did.

I used these ingredients.

Pour Butter Pecan Cake Mix into a mixing bowl. Add eggs and oil.

Stir or whisk to combine.

Add REAL white chocolate chips, NOT vanilla chips or premiere white baking chips. Add pecans.

Stir to combine.

Grease muffin tins generously with cooking spray. Roll dough into balls and place in miniature muffin tins.

Bake about 20 minutes at 350 degrees. Rotate muffin pans on oven racks after 10 minutes of baking time.

Allow cookie cups to cool in muffin tins completely, before removing to serve.

You’ll be drooling over every bite. 🙂

White Chocolate Chips and pecans dress up a Butter Pecan Cake Mix exponentially!

This is a great dessert for a Christmas Cookie Exchange or a holiday party, too.

Here’s the recipe.

Butter Pecan White Chocolate Cookie Cups are the perfect treat for holiday or Christmas parties. These lovely cookies are baked in miniature muffin cups and have a terrific cookie-type texture rather than cake-like or muffins. Real white chocolate chips make them a cut above regular cookies. Also great for tailgating parties and backyard barbecues.

Notes

NOTE: I found it easier to keep my hands moist while rolling cookie dough into balls.

NOTE: Be sure to use true white chocolate chips. Most stores only carry white or vanilla chips. They are not the same. In the Dallas area the only two stores that carry white chocolate chips are Kroger and Trader Joe’s.
