Pumpkin Spice Cookies

I love pretty much anything pumpkin so this next batch of cookies in this series was right up my alley.  Once again it is a super simple, uses only a few ingredients and makes a really delicious cookie.  Nice diversion from all the chocolate holiday options too.

Pumpkin Spice Cookies

1 yellow cake mix

2 eggs

1/4 cup oil

1 cup pumpkin

2 tsp pumpkin pie spice

1/2 cup all purpose flour

Cream cheese frosting (optional)

In a large mixing bowl combine the cake mix, eggs, oil, pumpkin, pumpkin pie spice and flour to form a thick sticky dough.  Drop by rounded spoonfuls onto a lightly greased baking pan.  Bake 9 to 11 minutes at 375 degrees until the edges just start to brown.  Remove to a cooling rack.  Once cooled frost the tops of each cookie with a little cream cheese frosting.  Store in an airtight container.  Makes approximately 2 dozen cookies.

Quick, easy and once again thrifty too!  These cookies are definitely Christmas tin worthy.  Lightly sweet and not overly spicy.  If you prefer a spicier cookie you could add more pumpkin pie spice or even use a spice cake mix instead of the yellow cake mix.

I decided to just heat up a little of the frosting and drizzle it like a glaze
