This is such an easy recipe, and delicious, too! I made it tonight. It makes a soft, cakier cookie, but not like a muffin. Makes about 30 small cookies--can be doubled for a 29oz can of pumpkin.

15 oz can pumpkin (not pumpkin pie)
1 box spice cake mix


Yes, that's it. Really.

(Optional--bump up the spices. I used 1T cinnamon and 1 T ginger extra, plus a few shakes of cloves and the cookies are pretty spiced. Depends on preference.)

Mix together the ingredients. It doesn't look like enough liquid at first, but it is! It's a loose, sticky cookie dough.

Spoon the dough onto a greased cookie sheet and smooth tops with oiled hands (cookies do rise, but they don't smooth out so well). Bake until cookies are a little darker in color, about 8 minutes (depends on size).

Ideas for these:
-drizzle with a vanilla and powdered sugar glaze (my Shabbos dessert this week)
-frost with a cream cheese frosting
-Stick two cookies together for a whoopie pie cookie riff--I would use cream cheese and marshmallow fluff or a regular whoopie pie cookie frosting.

Yum!

That sounds really nice!

The thing is, pumpkin is only sold in 29 oz cans near us. Where are you buying yours ?

I buy my pumpkin in a regular grocery store, where they sell both the 15 oz and bigger (must be 29oz).

You could just do two boxes of cake mix. The single box batch that I made was about 30 smaller cookies, so it's not a huge batch!

Fyi-you can mix pumpkin with any cake mix to make a delicious non-fat dessert! I do it with chocolate cake mix-yummy!
