EASY PUMPKIN SPICE COOKIES (CAKE MIX)



Easy Pumpkin Spice Cookies (Cake Mix) image

In a hurry? Cake mix and canned pumpkin - that's it! Amazingly simple and they taste wonderful -honestly they're great! Moist and chewy inside, slightly crispy outside. There are other cake mix cookie recipes on Zarr and they're all very good, but this one is my family's favorite. Beginner and experienced chefs can all appreciate the ease of this recipe, plus they sell quickly at bake sales, and children love them.

Categories     Drop Cookies

Time 35m

Yield 36 cookies, 36 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 (18 1/4 ounce) box spice cake mix
1 (15 ounce) can solid-pack pumpkin (the small can)
1 cup chopped pecans (optional) or 1/2 cup raisins (optional)
1 cup cream cheese frosting (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Spray cookie sheets lightly with vegetable spray (Pam).
  • In a large bowl, mix together the cake mix and pumpkin with a fork or mixer until well blended; stir in nuts or raisins, if desired.
  • Drop by large rounded spoonfuls onto the cookie sheet; they don't flatten out much so however you place them on the sheet is pretty much how they'll look after baking.
  • Bake for 8 to 15 minutes, depending on the size of your cookies.
  • Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for up to 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Frost, if desired.
  • How many cookies you get depends on how large you make them of course - just increase your baking time if making larger cookies (it's truly difficult to burn these, but they will get crispier & less moist); Mine, made with a medium size cookie scoop, take 13-15 minutes to bake and yield about 3 dozen.

Tips:

  • Use fresh pumpkin puree: Fresh pumpkin puree yields the best flavor and texture. If you don't have fresh pumpkin puree on hand, you can use canned pumpkin puree instead, but be sure to drain it well before using.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make the cookies tough. Mix the dough just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough before baking will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies at a moderate temperature: Baking the cookies at a moderate temperature will help them bake evenly and prevent them from burning.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before frosting: Let the cookies cool completely before frosting them. This will help the frosting set properly and prevent it from melting.
