Provided by Barb G.

Categories     Dessert

Time 45m

Yield 48 Cookies

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups butter
2/3 cup white sugar
4 teaspoons water
4 teaspoons vanilla
4 cups sifted flour
2 cups chopped pecans
6 tablespoons powdered sugar

Steps:

  • Cream to gether butter and sugar until smooth.
  • Beat in water and vanilla.
  • Stir in the flour and pecans until well blended (I use the mixer).
  • Cover dough and chill at least 4 hours (can be chilled over night).
  • Preheat oven 325 degrees.
  • Shape dough into walnut sized balls or cresents.
  • Place 2 inches apart onto cookie sheets.
  • Bake for 18 to 20 minutes.
  • Roll in powdered sugar while still warm.
  • I like to double roll them in the powdered sugar.

Tips:

  • Use a good quality cake mix. A higher quality cake mix will result in a better tasting cookie.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough.
  • Chill the dough before baking. Chilling the dough will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set. Overbaking will make the cookies dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before storing them. This will help them keep their shape and prevent them from becoming soggy.

Conclusion:

Pecan sandies cake mix cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They are perfect for any occasion, and they are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
