Author: Damaris
Ingredients
1boxdouble chocolate fudge cake mix
1tbspwater
2tbspoil
2eggs
2cupswhole pecan halves
Instructions
Combine cake mix and next three ingredients. Mix well.
Line a baking sheet pan with parchment paper. Arrange pecans in clusters of three.
Shape dough into approximately one inch balls. I used a small cookie scoop which made this really fast. Center each ball on one pecan cluster.
Bake at 350 degrees for 8-10 minutes. Let cool and spread with chocolate frosting.
Chocolate Frosting:1 Tablespoon oil2 Tablespoons baking cocoa1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract1 cup powdered sugar2 Tablespoons milk
In small bowl combine all ingredients adding milk alternately until it reaches a good spreading consistency.
Spread each cookie with frosting. Cut the corner from a ziplock bag. Pour about 4 Tablespoons Salted Caramel into bag. Snip the corner and drizzle onto each cookie. If not using caramel a small sprinkle of salt across the top of each cookie is great also!
