Pumpkin cookies are my jam and I look forward to baking, gifting, and eating them every fall.

My most popular pumpkin recipe, Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies, is what inspired this version of pumpkin cookies.

But this time I added a sugary pumpkin spice twist!

 

 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 26 bloggers will be sharing over 80 pumpkin-filled recipes for all your Autumn celebrations, including breakfasts, baked goods, savory pumpkin recipes, desserts, and drinks. Scroll down for today’s pumpkin recipes from all the participating bloggers.

Pumpkin Spice Drop Cookies

Makes 24-26 cookies

Ingredients

  • 1 box spice cake mix
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree canned or fresh
  • 2 eggs room temp
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar for topping
  • 1 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice for topping

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Add cake mix, eggs, pumpkin, and oil to a large mixing bowl.
  • Beat with a mixer until well combined and a dough forms. It will be sticky.
  • Using a small scoop, drop scoops of dough in rows (3 across works best - they will spread) on a lined baking sheet.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes until cookies are soft baked and not shiny.
  • Let cool slightly then move to a cooking rack with a plate or tray underneath.
  • Mix together powdered sugar and pumpkin pie spice in a small bowl.
  • Add to a shaker or shifter and shake sugar mixture on top of each cookie.
  • Repeat with remaining dough. This recipe makes a little over two dozen large cookies!

The simpler, the better! I love recipes with few ingredients.

These cookies only require six ingredients and most are ones you already have in your pantry!

If you are having problems finding fall baking ingredients, like spice cake mix and canned pumpkin,

be sure to check out the specialty or holiday baking sections in the grocery store. 

The baking aisle was bare but I found what I needed in the holiday section of Walmart. 

Add cake mix, eggs, pumpkin, and oil to a large mixing bowl.

Beat with a mixer until well combined and a dough forms. It will be sticky.

Mix together powdered sugar and pumpkin pie spice in a small bowl.

 

Using a small scoop, drop scoops of dough in rows (3 across works best – they will spread) on a lined baking sheet.

Bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes until cookies are soft baked and not shiny.

Let cool slightly then move to a cooking rack with a plate or tray underneath.

Add to a shaker or shifter and shake sugar mixture on top of each cookie.

Repeat with remaining dough. This recipe makes a little over two dozen large cookies!

All your favorite flavors of fall in one soft and delicious cookie.

    Brilliant to use a cake mix as a base for this cookie recipe. I love using them to baked goods other than cakes. I’m making these this week!

🍽 Yesterday we enjoyed lunch at NCAL+H2O, an upscale seafood gem of a restaurant in downtown Rolla. It was a delicious meal and everything this Florida girl has been craving! 
🐟 We started with an order of amazing Tuna Poke Nachos then shared a Grilled Shrimp Club sandwich with fries and a tasty salad with house garlic parm dressing. We couldn't stop there so we also split a bowl of cioppino, which was chock full of fresh seafood. Next time I want to try their Parmesan Halibut or Seafood Pasta! 
❤ If you are looking for a nice restaurant to celebrate an anniversary or have a quiet date night (or day date like us) check out @saltwaterrollamo ! 
⭐ Lunch was courtesy of @rolladowntown.  I was a winner of $100 in downtown dollars in their Tis the Season of Giving contest!

🥡 We tried @doordash for the first time during our stay in Branson tonight. It really saved us time and energy running around town and delivery was free! We ordered ramen, bi bim bap, and lo mein from a local Asian restaurant called Noodle 21. It was delish! Check them out if you are in the area and send me a message if you want a referral for $5 off to try #doordash ! @noodle21branson #eatlocal #branson #takeoutfood #whatsfordinner

It is pizza night and it’s @caseys to the rescue! After a busy week this tired Mama needed an easy dinner. Luckily Casey’s has tasty pizza to go and I ordered right on the app. Our fresh made Chicken Bacon Ranch Pizza was ready for store pickup in no time. Check out Casey’s new free curbside, available at most stores, and enjoy an easy and delicious Casey’s pizza night too! #sponsored #CaseysCurbside

Road trip time and #CaseysCurbside saved the day! We stopped at @caseys and stocked up on some supplies, including my favorite pretzels and juice from their new line of Casey’s favorites, before we were on our way. I love that I can order right on Caseys.com or via their app and pickup using their free and easy curbside. #sponsored
