It’s fall y’all and that means it’s time for PumpkinWeek! Let’s kick it off with a bang with these Frosted Butter Pecan Pumpkin Cookies. 

These soft cake cookies are made by combining butter pecan cake mix and pumpkin puree. I add pecans for crunch and top with a brown sugar glaze.

The result is a delicious fall inspired treat! 

Pumpkin season is here, and we are celebrating our love of pumpkin with #PumpkinWeek hosted by Terri from Love and Confections and Christie from A Kitchen Hoor’s Adventures. All week-long 13 bloggers will be sharing over 40 pumpkin-filled recipes for all your Autumn celebrations, including breakfasts, baked goods, savory pumpkin recipes, desserts, and drinks.

Frosted Butter Pecan Pumpkin Cookies

Ingredients

  • 15 oz can of pumpkin
  • 1 box Butter Pecan cake mix
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup pecans chopped

For the Frosting :

  • 1 cup light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Mix all cookie ingredients in a large bowl, making sure to incorporate all the dry cake mix into the batter.
  • Scoop balls (I use a small ice cream scoop) onto a lined baking sheet.
  • Bake for 14 minutes then remove to a rack to cool.
  • Repeat with remaining dough.
  • Let cool completely before frosting.

To prepare frosting:

  • Add brown sugar and milk to a small saucepan over medium low heat.
  • Bring to a boil then cook for two minutes, stirring continuously.
  • Add butter and whisk until melted. Remove from heat and add powdered sugar 1 cup at a time.
  • Whisk until smooth then let cool.
  • I like to dip the top of my cookies in the frosting, swirl around, then lift up and let it set on a rack before serving.

🍜 We had so much fun celebrating Lunar New Year last weekend with dinner at @pho_85_noodle_house_llc in Bentonville, AR! The Banh Mi sandwich and Beef and Seafood Pho soups were filled with fresh ingredients and flavor packed. As you can see their portions were huge so it's a great place to share! We also tried an appetizer sampler, Thai Tea, Coconut Boba Smoothie (my girls' favorite) and macarons for dessert. Everything was made to order and delicious. The staff was kind and helpful. If you live near by, check them out and #eatlocall ! ❤️ @visitbentonville #Bentonville  #pho85noodlehouse #arkansasfoodie #whatsfordinner #arkansasblogger #supportlocal #bentonvillearkansas #lunarnewyear #chinesenewyear

🌟I had to step out of my comfort zone today and attend my first networking event since moving to Arkansas. I already  struggle with meeting new people and being social since I work from home but now I live in a new city and know no one. Thank goodness I found @winnwa . The networking lunch today at @bonefishgrill was exciting, encouraging, and of course, fun! Over 80 local business women attended and everyone had a chance to introduce themselves and share what they do. I look forward to more  #womeninnetworking events in the future. Hoping to make some new friends too!
➡️ Swipe to see what I left with..... Bang Bang Shrimp, of course!🦐 #winnwa #smallbusinessowner #workfromhome #bloggerlife #arkansasblogger #nwarkansas #bonefishgrill #networking
