Equipment

  • 2 18x26" cookie sheet pans
  • 1 large mixing bowl
  • 1 wooden spoon
  • 1 nut chopper if nuts are not previously chopped
  • 1 spatula
  • measuring cups
  • 1 whisk

Ingredients
  

  • 15.25 oz. box Betty Crocker butter pecan cake mix 1 cup coarsely chopped pecans
  • 1/3 cup canola oil or vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 11.25 oz. pkg. white chocolate chips NOT vanilla chips
  • 1 cup pecans coarsely chopped

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Combine cake mix, oil and eggs in mixing bowl with whisk or wooden spoon.
  • Stir in white chocolate chips and pecans.
  • Spray cookie sheets with cooking spray.
  • Roll cookies into balls or scoop cookie dough with a scoop and place on prepared baking sheets.
  • Bake at 350° for 13-15 minutes or until done.
  • Rotate cookie sheets on oven racks every seven minutes of baking time.
  • Cool completely.

Notes

NOTE: Because I was baking three racks of cookies at once, my cookies took 18 minutes to make. I also rotated the trays every six to seven minutes.
 
NOTE: These cookies must be rotated during baking or the white chocolate chips will brown on the top rack.
 
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.
