Melt In Your Mouth Toffee Pecan Cookies ready to enjoy.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

These toffee pecan cookies are named perfectly. They literally melt in your mouth. Using cake mix is the perfect base for these cookies and makes them come together quickly. Pecan sand toffee complements each other while providing flavor and texture. We used a small cookie scoop, but if you used a bigger one you'd have sworn they were from a bakery. They'll satisfy everyone's sweet tooth and are perfect for any event. Bakers at any level of experience can make these.

How To Make melt in your mouth toffee pecan cookies

Test Kitchen Tips

Instead of a greased baking sheet, we used parchment paper. They are sticky on the bottom from all the Heath bar bits. Parchment paper allows them to come off the sheet easily.

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 F.

Step 2

Mix butter. Add cake mix, eggs, and water. Mix well with a hand mixer.
Step 3

Add toffee bits and pecans. Mix by hand. If you like lots of nuts, feel free to add 3/4 to 1 cup of pecans.
Step 4

Spoon onto an ungreased cookie sheet.
Step 5

Bake at 350 F for 10 minutes for small cookies. For larger cookies bake for 12-13 minutes.
Step 6

Transfer to cooling rack. They won't look done. But when they cool, they solidify, still being a soft chewy cookie.
