Easy Pecan Toffee Cookies

My sister called the other night to tell me she shared my website with her masters program classmates. Have I told you how much I love my sister? Their discussion led to weeknight meals and the hectic schedules they keep. She said their main focus was finding easy recipes with few ingredients that offered both main meal and dessert options.

Here’s the first of many to come….

Easy Pecan Toffee Cookies that start with a box of BettyCrocker® Gluten Free yellow cake mix. They couldn’t be easier or more delicious!

I frosted mine with melted chocolate chips, but it’s not necessary…they are equally as good sprinkled with the toffee chips as they come out of oven. Again, easy.

We all need a little sweet now and then and dessert doesn’t have to be elaborate or time consuming. Satisfy your craving with the decadence of pecans and toffee laced cookies…made so easily.
