2-Ingredient Pumpkin Cake Mix Cookies
Description
2-Ingredient Pumpkin Cake Mix Cookies start by mixing cinnamon or spice cake mix with canned pumpkin puree until a cohesive, thick dough forms. The dough is portioned onto a non-stick baking sheet and baked for 15 to 18 minutes, resulting in soft, moist cookies with characteristic autumn spice and pumpkin flavor. The cookies tend not to spread much, making it easier to control size and shape.
After cooling fully, the cookies can be glazed with a simple sweet topping made of powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract. The glaze can be dipped or drizzled on and adds a smooth, sweet contrast to the spiced, pumpkin cookie base.
This recipe can be adapted by adding mix-ins such as nuts or chocolate chips in place of the glaze. Baking in batches helps ensure even cooking, as the cookies have a thick, dense texture.
Ingredients
- 1 box cinnamon cake mix or spice cake mix
- 1 can pumpkin puree 14oz can, canned
For the Glaze:
- 1 1/4 cups powdered sugar
- 3 Tablespoons milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Add cake mix and canned pumpkin to a large bowl.
- Stir together until you have a cohesive dough; it will be thick!
- Scoop onto a non-stick baking sheet.
- Bake for 15-18 minutes.
To Glaze:
- Allow cookies to cool completely before frosting.
- Whisk together glaze ingredients until smooth.
- Dip each cookie upside down in the bowl of glaze, so the top is coated. You can alternatively drizzle the glaze slowly on top of the cookies.
- Place on a wire rack, with a cookie pan underneath it to catch any drips.
Notes
- The glaze is optional and can be replaced with mix-ins like chopped nuts or chocolate chips for variety.
- Make sure cookies have cooled completely before glazing to prevent melting and running of the glaze.
- If glaze is too runny, add more powdered sugar; if too thick to dip, add more milk gradually.
- Bake cookies in batches to ensure they cook evenly; spacing six or more on a baking sheet is fine.
- Nutrition values are approximate and depend on exact ingredients and serving sizes used.
