I was just looking for any easy recipes, and boy am I happy to find this one! Just took them out of the oven. Real good! I can't wait to make them for the residents at work. I wonder if these cookies would be as good made with sugar-free pudding.

Easy and tasty. I didn't have pecans, so I used 1 cup of butterscotch chips. Delicious.

I also used Duncans Hinds butter recipe cake mix. Will make again.
