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.

Well, we made it 8 years with my wild child with no broken bones...until skate night last night. Stella has a small fracture on her finger and had to get a splint at the hospital today. But in true Stella fashion, it is not slowing her down! #wildchild #mamasgirl #brokenbone #bravegirl #wildone
