Needing something sweet to take to my mom on Mother's Day, and having no time to go to the store, I pillaged my pantry. I found a butter pecan cake mix and pecans. The first thing I thought? Cake mix cookies.
This easy butter pecan cake mix cookie recipe has just four simple ingredients. The cookies bake up fast and are moist and not overly sweet like you'd think they would be. Everyone loved them for dessert.
Because my mom loves cinnamon, I added a few good shakes of ground cinnamon to the batter, but this is optional.
