Cookies
- 1 large egg

- ½ cup canned pumpkin
- 2 teaspoons milk
Cream cheese frosting
- 8 oz cream cheese softened
- ½ cup butter softened
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 4 cups powdered sugar
- 16 marshmallow pumpkin candies cut in half
Preheat oven to 350℉
In a large mixing bowl, add the egg, and lightly beat with fork or electric mixer
Add the cake mix, canned pumpkin and milk, and mix well
Use a tablespoon to scoop batter out and drop on baking sheet lined with parchment paper or aluminum foil, leaving about 2 inches between cookies
Bake for 10-12 minutes or until edges are firm
Remove from oven, allow to cool slightly, then remove cookies from baking sheets, and allow to cool completely on a wire rack or counter
Frosting
In a medium mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth
Add in the softened and beat until all lumps are gone
Stir in the vanilla extract
Gradually add in the powdered sugar
Prepare a piping bag with a small round tip and cream cheese frosting. Pipe frosting onto all the cookies
Cut the marshmallow pumpkin candies in half, and place one half on the center of each cookie
Use pure pumpkin and not pumpkin pie filling.
Batter may be sticky, so using parchment paper or foil or silicone baking mats is recommended.
Cookies are done when edges are firm and light brown. Do not over bake.
Make sure cream cheese is softened for easy blending.
Store frosted cookies in fridge. Unfrosted cookies can be stored at room temperature.
