How to Make Cake Mix German Chocolate Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened butter and ¾ cup granulated sugar using a mixer on low speed until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and ⅓ cup water.
  4. Gradually add 1 box (15.25 ounces) German chocolate cake mix, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Stir in 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut and 1 cup chopped pecans.
  6. Cover the bowl and chill the dough in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour (or up to overnight).
  7. Roll rounded tablespoons of dough into balls. Place them onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
  8. Gently flatten each ball with the palm of your hand or the bottom of a glass.
  9. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
  10. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
