It's not diet food!

But it sure does smell good :)

Chocolate Oatmeal Pecan Drop Cookies

½ cup margarine (let soften on counter for 30 minutes)
½ cup vegetable shortening (regular or butter flavored)
½ cup brown sugar (or ¼ cup Splenda brown sugar)
1 egg
¼ cup water
1 box chocolate cake mix (I used dark chocolate)
2 cups quick cooking oats
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 cup chopped pecans

Preheat oven to 325 degrees and grease cookie sheets.
In a large bowl, cream margarine, shortening and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Stir in egg and water. Beat in cake mix until well blended, and then stir in oats, chocolate chips and pecans. Drop rounded spoonfuls onto cookie sheet. Bake 8 to 10 minutes, and then allow cookies to cool on the cookie sheet for 5 minutes before moving to a wire rack to finish cooling.
