Ingredients

  • 1 box cake mix (any flavor)
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup canola oil
  • 1/4 cup nuts (pecans)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Mix all ingredients together in a bowl.
  3. Drop about 1 heaping teaspoonful of dough onto an ungreased cookie sheet, spacing about 2 inches apart.
  4. Bake at 350°F for 9 to 10 minutes.

Tips & Substitutions

For a unique twist, try using a flavored cake mix, such as lemon or chocolate, to enhance the flavor profile. If you're out of canola oil, vegetable oil or melted coconut oil can be effective substitutes. Mixing in chocolate chips or dried fruit can add extra texture and taste. Always check the cookies a minute early to prevent overbaking.

Serving Suggestions

These Bed And Breakfast Cookies are delightful with a cup of coffee or tea. For a breakfast treat, serve them alongside yogurt and fresh fruit. They also pair beautifully with Nassau Royale Chocolate Mousse for a decadent dessert experience. Enjoy them warm, straight from the oven, for a comforting indulgence.

Storage & Reheating

Store leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. For longer storage, you can freeze them in a single layer on a baking sheet, then transfer to a freezer bag for up to three months. To reheat, simply pop them in the microwave for 10-15 seconds or warm them in a preheated oven.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make these cookies gluten-free?

Yes, you can substitute the regular cake mix with a gluten-free cake mix. Just ensure that all other ingredients, like the nuts, are also gluten-free. The texture may vary slightly, but they will still be delicious!

How can I make these cookies more chewy?

For chewier cookies, try adding an extra egg yolk to the mixture. This adds moisture and will give your cookies a softer texture. Additionally, avoid overbaking them; they should be slightly underbaked when you take them out of the oven.

Can I add other mix-ins to the cookies?

Absolutely! Feel free to get creative by adding chocolate chips, dried fruits, or even oats. Just make sure to keep the total amount of mix-ins around 1 cup to maintain the right dough consistency.
