Ingredients
1 box (13.25-ounce) butter pecan cake mix
2 large eggs, room temperature
1/3 cup canola or vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup pecan halves, divided
1/2 cup toffee bits
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the butter pecan cake mix, eggs, oil, and vanilla extract until a thick, uniform dough forms.
Fold in the toffee bits and half of the pecan halves.
Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spaced about 2 inches apart.
Top each cookie with remaining pecan halves, pressing them gently into the dough.
Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers look set.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
To toast your pecans for extra flavor, spread them on a pan in a 350°F oven for 5-7 minutes before adding to the dough. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
