How to Make Easy Pecan Chocolate Chip Cookies

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine one box (15.25 oz) of your favorite chocolate cake mix, 2 large eggs, 1/3 cup vegetable oil, 1/2 cup water, and 1/2 cup granulated sugar.
  3. Mix thoroughly until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  4. Stir in 1 cup of pecan halves and 1 cup of chocolate chips.
  5. Mix gently until evenly distributed.
  6. Drop rounded tablespoons of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
  7. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set. Keep a close eye on them as ovens vary.
  8. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
