Description

Enjoy ultra-soft pumpkin cookies with this effortless two-ingredient recipe that guarantees a moist, tender texture every time. Perfect for the autumn season, these spiced treats stay fresh for days and offer a comforting, heritage flavor without the fuss of measuring flour and spices.


Ingredients

  • 1 (15.25 ounce) package spice cake mix
  • 1 (15 ounce) can solid pack pumpkin


Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and lightly grease your cookie sheets or line them with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, stir the spice cake mix and pumpkin puree together using a sturdy wooden spoon until the mixture is well blended and no dry streaks remain.
  3. Drop the dough by rounded tablespoonfuls onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them approximately 2 inches apart.
  4. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes until the centers are set and the edges feel firm to a light touch.
  5. Allow the cookies to rest on the baking sheets for at least 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

To ensure the best consistency, verify the pumpkin label specifically says pure pumpkin and not pie filling. For a more uniform look, you can use a damp finger to gently smooth out the peaks of the dough before placing the sheets in the oven.
