How to Make Butter Pecan Cream Cheese Cookies Cake Mix

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1/2 cup (113g) softened unsalted butter and 4 ounces (113g) softened cream cheese until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 1 large egg and 1 teaspoon maple extract until well combined.
  4. Gradually add 15 ounces (425g) butter pecan cake mix, mixing on low speed after each addition until just incorporated. Do not overmix.
  5. Cover the bowl and chill the dough for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours). This helps prevent the cookies from spreading too much.
  6. Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
  7. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. Avoid overbaking.
  8. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
