Pumpkin Cake Mix Cookies
Delightful and easy Pumpkin Cake Mix Cookies, perfect for cozy gatherings and packed with autumn flavors.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 box pumpkin-flavored cake mix This forms the heart of your cookies, providing moisture and flavor.
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil For rich, buttery goodness.
- 2 large eggs These bind the mix together and add structure.
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Adds a hint of sweetness and depth.
Optional Add-ins
- 1 cup chocolate chips For a sweet touch.
- 1/2 cup pecans For a bit of crunch.
- 1/2 cup dried cranberries For bursts of flavor.
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin cake mix, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix well until everything is thoroughly incorporated, and a thick dough forms.
- Stir in your chosen add-ins. Fold them gently into the dough.
- Drop tablespoon-sized portions of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving adequate space between each cookie.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers still appear soft.
- Let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before moving them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
To achieve the perfect cookie, avoid overmixing. Consider chilling your dough for about 30 minutes before baking for thicker, chewier cookies. Use room temperature eggs for better mixing and texture.
