    Chocolate Pecan Cake Mix Cookies

    Mondays are hard. Monday mornings are even harder, but they're a little bit easier when you start them out with one (or five) of these thick, fudgy, chewy, chocolate pecan cake mix cookies. Cookies? For breakfast?? YUP. These sweet delectable little motivators have coffee grounds baked in to start your morning out right (this is the best excuse I have to eat cookies at 7AM 😂).

    I actually had to make these cookies twice to get pictures of a full step by step, because I ate the entire first batch right when it came out of the oven [whoops hahaha]. I decided to switch it up with the mix I was using and run some tests! One batch was made with Betty Crocker Salted Caramel Brownie mix and the other was made with Duncan Hines Devils Food Chocolate Cake mix.

    Should You Use Brownie Mix or Cake Mix?

    Both were surprisingly delicious! I actually noticed a bigger difference in comparing brands than type of chocolate mix. My favorite results came from Duncan Hines (Devil's Food Cake Mix or Chewy Fudge Brownie Mix). The dough came out thick and fudgy and didn't spread much during baking. Betty Crocker's Salted Caramel Brownie mix was soft and chewy out of the oven, but the consistency was more of a sticky batter so it was harder to work with and it spread more in the oven. I would HIGHLY recommend adding salted caramel on top of whatever mix you're using! That really made the Betty Crocker mix taste INCREDIBLE.

    Notes

    This recipe post tests Betty Crocker's Salted Caramel Brownie mix and Duncan Hines Devil's Food Chocolate Cake mix. Both batches came out great! Duncan Hines also makes a Chewy Fudge Brownie Mix and Dark Chocolate brownie mix that are perfect for this recipe!
    Here with the differences:
    • Betty Crocker's brownie mix was more of a sticky batter and Duncan Hines was a thicker fudgy dough. Duncan Hines was easier to work with.
    • The Betty Crocker batch spread much farther on the baking sheet when it was in the oven than Duncan Hines, but both came out soft and chewy.
    Use whatever chocolate mix you have-the end result is delicious!
