There was something missing from this recipe. If you follow it as it's written, it is too dry. Look at the ingredients; 1 egg and 1 Tbsp butter are the only wet ingredients added to the cookie mix. The milk is just used to coat the balls before you roll them in the pecans. I added 1/3 cup oil and an egg and it worked well. I used 1/4 tsp plus 1/8 tsp chili powder and it had just enough of a kick. Next time I think I'll roast the pecans first for more flavor.

Ingredients

  • 1  9-ounce package devil's food cake mix
  • 2  tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/4  to 1/2 teaspoon ground chipotle chili powder
  • 1  egg, lightly beaten
  • 1  tablespoon butter, softened
  • 2  tablespoons milk
  • 1/2  cup finely chopped pecans

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 375 degree F. In a medium mixing bowl, stir together cake mix, cocoa powder, chipotle chili powder, egg, and butter until all is moistened (dough will be stiff).

2. Roll dough into 1-inch balls. Place milk in a shallow dish. Place nuts in another shallow dish. Dip balls in milk, then in nuts to coat. Place 2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet.

3. Bake in preheated oven for 8 to 9 minutes or until tops are crackled. Cool on cookie sheet 1 minute. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool completely. Makes about 20.

To Store: Place cookies in layers separated by waxed paper in an airtight container; cover. Store at room temperature for up to 24 hours or freeze for up to 3 months.
