Recipe Tuesday: Lemon Pecan Cookies




This is a VERY simple recipe that I use when i'm in the mood for a sweet treat and want minimal work.
- a box of lemon cake mix
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup of vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup of chopped pecans

Mix all of the ingredients together. (I use my stand mixer because this is a thick batter)
Spoon them on a baking sheet and bake at 350 for about 13 min.
(I sometimes use mini muffin tins and fill them 1/2 full and bake them for 13 min. for a thicker cake like cookie.)
You can change these up anyway you like.
Variations can include:
chocolate cake mix with peanutbutter chips
yellow cake with m&m's
chocolate cake with andes candy pieces (YUMMMMM)
Just use any variation you and your family enjoys.

Hope you try these and enjoy them like my family does!
