I love to blog and read other's blogs, mainly people I have never met nor will ever meet in my lifetime. As I was reading one moms blog, I saw that she had made pumpkin spice cookies, and reported they were beyond easy...good news.
As I looked at the recipe, it called for one 15 oz. can of pumpkin, and one box of spice cake mix, (chocolate chips if desired). Bake at 350 for 9-11 minutes. That's it! This means, no egg, no oil/butter, just the carbs and veggie!, and I even had the pumpkin already!!
Partners in guilt-free cookies...so happy together!Here is where this story got complicated. Having only quickly glanced at the recipe, I couldn't remember what type of cake mix it called for, so after three trips to the store, returning home with three different cake mixes, I finally had the required one! I think I could have made the cookies with any cake mix, but let me tell you ladies...wait for the spice cake! It tastes just like pumpkin pie!
While C was being grumpy at my feet, I whipped up some beautiful (well, they are actually fairly ugly looking, but I think they are supposed to be so) cookies. I even gave her a bite of the dough which she loved, temporarily curing grumpy screeches.
Best news of all...one more recipe to add to a list of cookie dough without eggs, therefore consumable with no guilt during pregnancy...much needed by Aggen women!

Those sound absolutely delicious! I'm definitely going to try them..
Thanks for sharing. I"m always looking for yummy recipes.
Add 3/4 cup water to the mix and make a cake or muffins! They are fantastic! We serve the cake with fat free cool whip and it is great!
Wanda often makes these for our family, and now I make them when York's not looking! We only had 1/2 water to make the muffins, but I'm not sure that makes that much of a difference!
Mmm, Alexis, I have a recipe similar to that one where you use the can of pumpkin and a devil's food cake mix (and the ubiquitous choco chips of course)... MMMMM! Thanks for the yummy variation!
