It’s that time of year again to buy cans of pumpkin and make some sweet treats for friends and family. I saw these little cake mix cookies a while back, and new I had to try them. They’re just 3 ingredients! I added a simple 3 ingredient cream cheese frosting to make them really special.
Just 5 ingredients and you have these tasty little treats. Canned pumpkin puree and spice cake mix for the cookies; cream cheese sugar and pumpkin pie spice for the frosting. The cookies are super soft and so flavorful. They are a perfect treat to take to friends and family.
The cream cheese frosting is the perfect blend of sweetness and spice. Just mix it together, and frost your cookies. Or leave off the frosting all together. These cookies are just as good without.
Note: These cookies bake up more of a ball shape than a flat cookie, and are super soft and cake-like.
