CRANBERRY PECAN COOKIES

These Cranberry Pecan Cookies are made with a cake mix and craisins. They are so easy and so good!

❤️WHY WE LOVE THIS RECIPE

We do a lot of baking during the holiday season and we are always looking for easy recipes and these are on the list. Only 5 ingredients and so good! These are perfect for any gathering and come together so quickly.

SWAPS

You can substitute the nuts with walnuts if you prefer. I also think any cake mix will work, we like the white, but a spice cake may be delicious. You could also add a teaspoon of vanilla or almond extract.

⭐TIP

Since these cookies are made with a white cake mix they do come out white, so we put them under the broiler for a VERY short amount of time to just add a little color. You don’t have to do this.
