My friend, McKenzie called me to share this recipe a few weeks back. I finally remembered to buy a can of pumpkin, and had stocked up on $.59 cake mixes from Safeway this week. So I tried it and they turned out pretty good.
1 boxed cake mix
1 small can (15oz) pumpkin
That's all!
Beat together with mixer and drop by tablespoons on greased cookie sheet or Silpat. Bake at 375 for about 9-10 minutes.
I used a yellow cake mix and added chocolate chunks. I didn't have any chocolate chips on hand but I had a bunch of mini chocolate bars from Halloween that I chopped up and threw in. Which could very well make them not only the easiest cookies but the cheapest, too. I think they'd be good without the chocolate and with a generous shaking of cinnamon. Or use a chocolate cake mix to disguise the pumpkin from your kids.
My kids gobbled them down. Wyatt loved them so much he named them "Dream Cookies" so I guess that's what they will be called around here. I justify "Dream Cookies" as a good way to get your veggies. Or wait, I think pumpkin is a fruit. Oh, well.
They made my house smell good!

I LOVE these types of recipes! Thanks for sharing!!
We usually use this recipe to make muffins with chocolate cake mix & pumpkin! I like the cookie idea though, too! So easy, isn't it?
I am definelty trying this!!!
Thanks for sharing!
Oooh, these sound so good! I'll have to try these soon!
Now, that's my kind of recipe! As picky as my kids are, I would definitely have to go with the chocolate cake mix though!
Yummy...I will be making these real soon.
Sounds good. I will try it with the cinnamon I think.
Dream cookies?...he's so funny. I'm going to have to try it just cause of the name.
Sounds good, another great easy cookie is 1 Cup Peanut Butter, 1 Egg, 1/2 cup sugar and 1 Tbs of Vanilla. Mix together (it is very sticky) and drop on to a cookie sheet bake at 350 until done (about 10 min. I think!). This is great if you have any allergies in the family because it is lactose and gluten free, plus it only makes about a dozen so you aren't tempted to eat a ton! Enjoy!
