Pumpkin Cookies (3 ingredients)
These 3-ingredient Cake Mix Pumpkin Cookies are super simple to make and packed with cozy, spiced, fall flavor. They're the perfect easy autumn treat to enjoy all season long.
Servings 36 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 box spice cake mix 15.25 oz
- 1 15 oz can pumpkin purée
- 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
For the Frosting:
- 4 oz cream cheese softened
- 2 tbsp butter softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F & line a baking sheet.
- Mix cake mix, pumpkin & spice until combined.
- Drop spoonfuls of dough (about 2 tablespoons each) onto the prepared baking sheet. I made 5 large cookies, but you can easily make smaller cookies by scooping less dough—just adjust the bake time down by a couple minutes.
- Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the cookies are set and slightly golden on the edges.
- Let cool on a wire rack before adding icing.
- Beat cream cheese & butter until smooth.
- Add sugar & vanilla, whip until fluffy.
- Frost cooled cookies, sprinkle with pumpkin spice or cinnamon.
