I have a recipe for Pumpkin Cupcakes (cream cheese icing!)

Not cookies, though.

Let me know if you want it!

I'm not sure if this is exact, but you mix 1 box of spice cake mix with a can of pumpkin? I know it's only those ingredients, and I think it's one can of pumpkin.

Yes, please post it and I just want to say you have absolutely the cutest dog (next to mine of course!!) ever! Mine is a shi-poo in various shades of brown/apricot. Love him to pieces.

That recipe of Rora's would also be good with chocolate chips!

I use this recipe- the cookies come out very cake-like. I usually cut the recipe for the glaze in half because it makes way too much!

Iced Pumpkin Cookies

INGREDIENTS
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 1/2 cups white sugar (I do half white and half brown sugar for a richer flavor)
1 cup canned pumpkin puree
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For glaze:
2 cups confectioners' sugar
3 tablespoons milk
1 tablespoon melted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ground cloves, and salt; set aside.
In a medium bowl, cream together the 1/2 cup of butter and white sugar. Add pumpkin, egg, and 1 teaspoon vanilla to butter mixture, and beat until creamy. Mix in dry ingredients. Drop on cookie sheet by tablespoonfuls; flatten slightly.
Bake for 15 to 20 minutes in the preheated oven. Cool cookies, then drizzle glaze with fork.
To Make Glaze: Combine confectioners' sugar, milk, 1 tablespoon melted butter, and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Add milk as needed, to achieve drizzling consistency.

Pumpkin Spice Cookie

A simple cookie, only 2 ingredients! (No need to add the oil & eggs.) Although I think I'd add some dried cranberries & walnuts or white chocolate chips. Maybe top with a cream cheese frosting.

1 (18.25 ounce) package spice cake mix
1 (15 ounce) can solid pack pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie mix)

DIRECTIONS:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease cookie sheets.
2. In a large bowl, stir together the cake mix and pumpkin until well blended. Drop by rounded spoonfuls onto the prepared cookie sheet.
3. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.


These would go great with a warm apple cider.

For a variations:

If you prefer the taste and texture of gingerbread to fluffy cake-like cookies, use a box of gingerbread mix, plus half of a 15-oz can of pumpkin. It comes out as soft, dense, moist, spicy cookies. Make sure you grease the cookie sheet, though, because the lack of added oil makes them stick.

Another variation: Use a Chocolate cake mix instead of the spice cake mix. Doesn't taste as pumpkin-y.


For Pumpkin Spice muffins: add 1/3 cup water to the 2 ingredients above. Add in 1/4-1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice for extra pumpkin-y flavor. For Pumpkin Chocolate muffins use a chocolate cake mix (and leave out the pumpkin pie spice.)


(This reminded me, I'm also adding a Pumpkin Bars recipe to the thread, as soon as I dig it up. )

Here's the Pumpkin Bars recipe:

Pumpkin Bars

2 tablespoons butter, melted
4 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice

1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk, (NOT evaporated milk)
1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup chopped pecans (optional)


DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 350 degrees C (175 degrees C). Coat a 15x10 inch jelly roll pan with non-stick spray.

In a large mixing bowl, on low speed, combine cake mix, 1 egg, margarine, and 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice until crumbly. Press onto bottom of prepared pan.

In another large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese until fluffy. Gradually beat in sweetened condensed milk, then remaining two eggs, pumpkin, remaining 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice, and salt; mix well. Pour over crust; sprinkle with pecans.

Bake 30 to 35 minutes, or until set.

Cool, then chill in refrigerator. Cut into squares. Store covered in refrigerator.
