How to Make Butter Pecan Crisps From Cake Mix
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, combine 1 box (15.25 ounces) yellow cake mix and 1/2 cup (1 stick) shortening. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until a coarse crumb forms.
- Add 1/4 cup water, 1 large egg, and 2/3 cup chopped pecans. Mix on low speed until a dough forms.
- Roll dough into 42 one-inch balls.
- Place balls 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
- Lightly grease the bottom of a measuring cup (or use a flat-bottomed glass) with cooking spray.
- Gently flatten each dough ball to 2 inches in diameter using the greased cup. Spray the cup as needed to prevent sticking.
- In a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup granulated sugar and 1/4 cup finely chopped pecans.
- Lightly brush the unbaked cookies with 1 large egg white, using a pastry brush.
- Sprinkle the sugar-pecan mixture evenly over the cookies.
- Bake for 6-8 minutes, or until the edges are light golden brown.
- Let cool on baking sheets for 1 minute before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
