Butter Pecan Blossom Cookies Recipe

Butter Pecan Blossom Cookies Recipe

I am obsessed with making cake mix cookies for the holidays! I love the simplicity of making cookies by starting with a box of cake mix. I recently shared my new recipe for butter cake blossom cookies, which I based on the family favorite peanut butter Kiss cookies and my new butter cake crinkles. Another new Christmas cookie that I recently baked up was a batch of butter pecan blossom cookies for which I used a box of butter pecan cake mix.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°.
  2. Unwrap the chocolate Kisses.
  3. Combine the powdered sugar and corn starch in a small bowl.
  4. Beat together the softened butter and eggs in a large bowl.
  5. Slowly add the butter pecan cake mix to the butter mixture. Combine thoroughly.
  6. Drop teaspoons of the cookie dough into the powdered sugar mixture.
  7. Roll the dough ball in the powdered sugar until thoroughly covered.
  8. Form the powdered sugar-covered dough into a ball.
  9. Place the powdered sugar-covered dough ball on an ungreased cookie sheet. Leave 2 inches between the dough balls.
  10. Bake the cookies for 9 minutes or until the bottoms begin to brown.
  11. Immediately press a chocolate Kiss into the centers of the baked cookies.
  12. Allow the baked cookies to rest for a minute before removing from the cookie sheet.
  13. Allow the cookies to cool and the chocolate Kiss to harden.
  14. Store the butter pecan blossom cookies in an airtight container.
