Made these today for the first time for home and for a friend gathering over the weekend. I tasted one with the frosting and they are divine this is definitely going to be my go-to recipe for pumpkin cookies. Very easy to make and so tasty!??
Thank you Regresa A.
Mimma56: It means 2 tablespoons of dough
I really liked this recipe. I have made a similar recipe in the past, but it is not as good as this one and it didn't have the quick cooking oats. I made the recipe as directed, but added spice cake mix instead of yellow cake mix, about 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips, and only 1 teaspoon of the pumpkin pie spice. I didn't make the icing. It was delicious. This will be one of my go to recipes for pumpkin cookies.
Tasted a bit bland
This is the PERFECT brunch cookie! It is super moist and 'muffin top' like. Because I used a spice cake mix didn't add spice. But did add 1/2 cup of walnuts. With or without icing very good. This is a great recipe to have a little fun with- think of adding nuts, raisins, coconut... whatever you like. Also, uniced makes a great cookie to take to brunch potluck. Transports easily and the recipe makes a lot!!
These are easy and diabetic friendly. Lovely texture, though they need about 3-4 more minutes baking, unless you like them doughy in center. I leave off the frosting and my husband likes it on! I'm diabetic, so do without. We have these with our nightly pot of tea.
Easy to make, I love the texture of the cookies!
I used old fashioned oatmeal and allspice instead of pumpkin pie spice. Next time I will add raisins. Excellent recipe and makes just the right amount when using an ice cream scoop.
I used spice cake mix, instead of yellow and I add dry orange-cranberries. Delicious treat, you can't eat just one piece!
