Pumpkin Cookie Recipes



Super easy and so good, these pumpkin cookie recipes start with a boxed cake mix. Better than store bought, satisfy your autumn craving for pumpkin with these cake-like cookies without a lot of effort.

Each of these canned pumpkin recipes yields about 3 dozen cookies. How many cookies you get depends on how large you make them of course. Be sure to increase your baking time if you are making larger cookies. It's truly difficult to burn these, but they will get crispier and less moist the longer they are baked.

When making pumpkin cookie recipes, to cut down on calories and make clean up easier, line the baking sheets with parchment paper. No oil is needed and the cookies will slide right off.

To make the cookies uniform in size, use a small ice cream scoop or cookie scoop when putting the cookie dough on the baking sheets. If you want thinner cookies, flatten them slightly with the back of a spoon. The cookies won’t spread or flatten out while baking.
