Buckle up, kiddos, because tonight’s baking extravaganza was full of autumn awesomeness.
Pumpkin spice cookies!
I blogged about these cookies back in October last year, but since I apparently had a camera from the 1950s at that point, I figured I should feature the cookies on the ol’ blog again with a much prettier spread.
Plus, I know many of you likely didn’t see that post since I posted it during my first month of blogging and trust me, these cookies deserve some extra attention.
You guys know how much I adore easy recipes (flourless peanut butter cookies!), and these cookies take the cake for being the absolute easiest cookies to make in the world.
All you need are two ingredients:
Mix the two ingredients together (or simply stir them together using a little elbow grease) until the pumpkin and cake mix are sufficiently combined.

The cookie dough will be really thick and completely irresistible. There are no raw eggs in this mix, so feel free to go to town on the dough. I know I did.
Place spoonfuls of the dough on a cookie sheet sprayed with cooking spray (or on a Silpat because these things rock!) and bake at 350 degrees for 10 – 12 minutes.
The cookies are done when they feel slightly firm to the touch.
Allow the cookies to cool and enjoy as is…
… Or allow the cookies to cool and top ‘em with cream cheese icing!
I then dusted the cookies with a sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice.

The only thing better than how easy these cookies are to make is the end result.
Enjoy!










I found that many people do not know what to do with canned pumpkin. I run a food pantry and we have lots of canned pumpkin. So today I am taking in a batch of these w/the recipie.
Maybe all that donated pumpkin will fly off the shelf!
Fun and easy!! My kind of thing.

I just made these with a friend over the weekend. They came out so good I went to the store and bought enough stuff to make another batch for a party that night. When I told my mom about them, she wants to make them this weekend. I think you’ve started a trend

I’ve made something similar to these but they were muffins with 1 can of pumpkin and 1 box of devils food cake mix. Put in 12-cup muffin tin and bake at 400 for 20 minutes. Yum!
