Easy Pumpkin Spice Cookies (Cake Mix)

Recipe #147653 | 35 min | 5 min prep | add private note

By: 4Susan

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.

SERVES 36 , 36 cookies (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Preheat oven to 350°F.
  2. 2
    Spray cookie sheets lightly with vegetable spray (Pam).
  3. 3
    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.
  4. 4
    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.
  5. 5
    Bake for 8 to 15 minutes, depending on the size of your cookies.
  6. 6
    Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for up to 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
  7. 7
    Frost, if desired.
  8. 8
    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.

I have one word for these "cookies"...AMAZING! They are soft, chewy, sweet, and healthy all at the same time. I absolutely love the texture. In my pantry I only had fluffy white frosting, but it still tastes great and adds that extra kick to the already fabulous cookies. Instead of pumpkin pie next year, Im going to make these and surprise the family with a diet-approved treat. Thank you!

    These are always a hit (I make the "naked' version..pumpkin and spice cake mix..nothing else) tip I got from another version of this recipe, is mix it all in a zip lock bag. Much easier, since it is such a stiff dough. And then just snip off a corner and pipe out the cookies. Watch that ziplock top...and make sure you squeeze out all the air, it it might pop! Also a tiny bit of brown sugar on the tops before baking gives it a nice look/appealing texture. For fabulous muffins, just add an egg. YUMMY!

    These were very soft and moist. My son loved them. I used a box of white cake mix, and just added about a teaspoon or so of pumkin pie spice. Perfect! Thanks for a yummy fall treat!

    Thank you!!!!!!!!!! I made these cookies for my thanksgiving desert and they are outstanding! I took the liberty of adding the zest and juice of one orange and dried cranberries instead of nuts and raisins. it was amazing.
