Cream Cheese Pecan Cookies

Ingredients

1

pouch Betty Crocker™ sugar cookie mix

1

(8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened

1

cup chopped pecans

1

cup dark chocolate chips

1

teaspoon sea salt flakes

Steps

• 1

  Preheat oven to 350°F. In a large bowl, use a fork to mix the cream cheese into the cookie mix until a soft dough forms. Add pecans and mix well.
• 2

  Roll dough into two logs. Slice into 1/4 thick cookies. Gently form the cookies into rounded circles. (They will retain their shape, so give them a good round shape for the prettiest cookies.)
• 3

  Place cookies on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 6-9 minutes, or just until the cookies are set in the center and the bottoms turn a very light golden brown.
• 4

  Remove cookies and cool completely. Melt chocolate chips in a zip-top bag, snip a small corner from the bag, and pipe the melted chocolate in a drizzle atop each cookie. Sprinkle with sea salt flakes, if desired. Allow chocolate to cool and harden before serving.
