Thank you for posting this recipe. I used a butter pecan cake mix, used butter in place of oil and I didn’t add additional pecans. The cookies are so soft, delicious and not overly sweet! I will be making these again and the recipe is now in my recipe box.

I’m so glad you enjoyed the pecan cookies, Miriam! I love them with the Butter Pecan Cake Mix, too!
