Everyone loves how these insanely addictive homemade cookies come together with minimal effort! These Toffee Butter Pecan Cake Mix Cookies are soft, chewy, and packed with buttery pecan flavor, crunchy pecans, and sweet Heath English Toffee Bits in every bite!

Toffee and Pecan Cookie Recipe from Cake Mix!

My favorite ice cream flavor is Butter Pecan. If someone could make it normal to eat ice cream for every meal of the day, that would be great.

I’ve always just known the flavor to be simple with just a few pecans to liven it up. But then, we went to King Cone and I tried their award winning (literally) homemade version and it had swirls of caramel AND toffee bits in it! HEAVEN ON EARTH!! I could not believe how amazing it was! There is absolutely nothing that beats it.

Do yourself a favor and have an exit strategy when you are around these babies!

Why this Recipe Works

Cake Mix Provides a Shortcut Base – It already contains the flour, sugar, leavening agents, and butter pecan flavoring, creating consistent results with minimal effort.

Heath Toffee Bits Add Sweet, Butter Crunch – As the cookies bake, the toffee bits soften slightly and create pockets of caramel like flavor throughout each bite.

Pecans Balance the Sweetness – Their rich, nutty flavor compliments the butter pecan cake mix and toffee while adding a satisfying crunch.

It’s Foolproof – I love how this easy recipe tastes homemade, with the perfect blend of buttery, nutty, sweet, and crunchy flavors in every bite!

Ingredients You’ll Need

1 box Butter Pecan Cake Mix – The base of the recipe, providing buttery flavor, sweetness, and the dry ingredients needed for the cookie dough.

1/2 cup Butter (Softened) – Adds richness, moisture, and helps create a soft, chewy texture.

2 Eggs – Binds the ingredients together and contributes to the cookies structure and tenderness.

1 tbsp Water – Helps bring the dough together and ensures the proper consistency.

1 (8 oz) bag Heath English Toffee Bits – Adds sweet, buttery toffee flavor and a delightful crunchy texture throughout the cookies.

1/2 cup Pecans (Chopped) – Provides a nutty flavor and extra crunch that compliments the butter pecan and toffee flavors.

How to Make Toffee Butter Pecan Cake Mix Cookies

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.

In a large bowl, beat together 1 box Butter Pecan Cake Mix, 1/2 cup softened butter, 2 eggs, and 1 tbsp water until well combined.

Fold in 1 (8 oz) bag Heath English Toffee Bits and 1/2 cup chopped pecans.

Scoop 1 1/2 tbsp size balls and place onto the prepared pan.

Bake for 12 minutes.

Don’t Overmix the Dough – Mix just until the ingredients are combined to keep the cookies tender.

Use a Cookie Scoop – This helps create evenly sized cookies that bake uniformly.

Slightly Under Bake for Softer Cookies – Remove the cookies when the edges are set and lightly golden. The centers will continue to firm up as they cool.

Reshape the Cookies – With the edges of a spatula right after removing from the oven while they are still soft.
