Pancake Mix Cookies


One day after dinner at Nana’s house, everyone was craving sweets.  I looked in the pantry, no baking powder.  Right then, an idea came to me.  Pancake mix has everything a cookie needs.  This is how this cookie was discovered.  Oh, and after everybody ate the whole basket of cookies in 2 minutes, I realized that I had forgotten to mix in the eggs, but it works!!!

Ingredients
Butter                           ½ cup
Powdered sugar            ¼ cup
Pancake mix               1 ½ cups
Mini chocolate chips      ¼ cup
Pecan, broken                ¼ cup

Directions:
1. Cream butter and powder sugar in a mixing bowl. 
2. Using a rubber spatula, fold the pancake mix into the butter mixture, do not overmix. 
3. Add the mini chocolate chips and broken pecans, mix a bit, then form little balls with hands, place onto parchment paper lined baking sheets, bake at 350°F/180°C for about 9 minutes, then turn the baking sheet around, bake an additional 2 minutes.
4. Place the cookies onto wired rack to cool. 

Serving: 12

* PS. Cookies varied depending on the types and brands of pancake mixes.  It also matter how the butter is creamed.  It doesn’t really make a difference here because we have cookie monsters in the house!!!
