COOKIES
1 box betty crocker triple chocolate fudge cake mix
2 eggs
1/3 c vegetable oil
1/2 c semi-sweet chocolate chips

1 c chopped pecans

1/3 c whipping cream
1/4 c salted butter
1 c powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
TIP: IF YOU CAN NOT FIND THE BETTY CROCKER TRIPLE CHOCOLATE FUDGE CAKE MIX THEN FEEL FREE TO USE A REGULAR CHOCOLATE FUDGE CAKE MIX, BUT YOU WILL HAVE TO ADD AN ADDITIONAL 1/2 CUP OF CHOCOLATE CHIPS.

Steps:

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Mix together cake mix, eggs, and oil until powder is completely dissolved together.
2. Next add the 1/2 cup of chocolate chips. Mix well.
3. Grease a cookie sheet and drop by spoon fulls onto pan. I like to use my cookie scoop for more uniform cookies. Bake 9-12 min until done. The cookies will come out soft but will harden up a little when it cools. They will be nice a chewy.
4. FOR THE FROSTING: While cookies are cooling bring the brown sugar, whipping cream, and butter to a boil in a 2 quart sauce pan over medium heat, stirring often; boil for 1 min.
5. Remove the pan from the heat and whisk in the powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Stir in chopped pecans. Stirring gently for 2-4 minutes or until mixture begins to cool and thicken slightly.
6. With the cookies on a cooling rack, place a sheet of aluminum foil under the cooling rack. Then spoon the icing over the cookies. Let the icing set and then enjoy!
