Ingredients

1 box (18 1/4 ounces) devil's food cake mix
2 eggs
1/4 cup hot coffee or hot water
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup semisweet chocolate pieces
1 cup chopped pecans
3/4 cup bits of chocolate-toffee candy

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Combine cake mix, eggs, coffee, oil and flour in large bowl. Beat on low speed until all ingredients are moistened; then beat on high speed for 2 minutes. Dough will be sticky. Fold in chocolate pieces, pecans and candy until evenly distributed. Using about half of the batter, drop by heaping tablespoonfuls onto ungreased baking sheet, spacing 2 inches apart.

Bake for 12 to 14 minutes. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet on a wire rack for 4 to 5 minutes or until firm. With a metal spatula, transfer the cookies to the wire rack to cool. Repeat with the remaining batter. Serve slightly warm or store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.

yum yum
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

My 'perfect cookie' is not as flat as this one...but I think this could be cured with 1) not over-beating 2) colder cookie... sheets 3) refrigerating a bit before cooking. (4 stars because they are kinda flat) Super-easy cookie to make and people loved them...chocolate overdose! =DRead more

Yum-o!
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I served these at a gathering, and they went FAST! The only difference I saw between the recipe and the cooking: the time was... off. It could have been my oven, but it cooked a little longer than originally thought.Read more

Easy and great!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

These cookies are a snap to make, inexpensive and taste great. They do not fall or flaten when out of the oven, they hold... their nice full shape. Cookies are soft and taste great. I made these for a cookie swap and I must admit that these were the best cookies there! The batches I made resulted in 30-36 cookies.Read more

Rated: 2 stars out of 5

These cookies were easy enough to make until I had to drop them to the baking sheet. The dough was very sticky and hard to... handle. The cookies turned out chewy but a bit too soft.Read more
