Description
These cookies have been a tradition in my family since we first ate them at a friend’s house. I made them every year for our children. I shared them with my co-workers who requested them, and they were sent to college with the neighbor boy each time he came home for a visit. They are cute, moist and remind us that Halloween should be enjoyed even if you aren’t a child.
Ingredients
- FOR THE COOKIES:
- 1 package (18 Oz. Size) Yellow Cake Mix
- ½ cups Quick Cooking Oatmeal
- 2 teaspoons Pumpkin Pie Spice
- 1 can (16 Oz. Size) Pumpkin Puree
- ¼ cups Butter Or Margarine, Softened
- FOR THE FROSTING/TOPPINGS:
- 1 container (16 Oz. Size) White Frosting Or Your Favorite Recipe
- Food Coloring (green And Orange)
- Candy To Decorate Pumpkin Faces (I Use M&Ms, Candy Corn And Mini M&Ms)
Preparation
Heat oven to 350ºF. Lightly grease cookie sheet.
Mix together all of the cookie ingredients until well blended. Drop cookies by 1/4 cupfuls onto prepared cookie sheet. With the back of a spoon, flatten to a round pumpkin shape; move a little dough to the top in a ‘stem’ shape. (You will decorate this with green frosting to resemble a pumpkin stem.)
Bake 350ºF for 14–20 minutes, or until edges are light golden brown.
Divide frosting and tint small portions of frosting with green food coloring, the other portion with orange food coloring. Once cookies are cool, frost the stem with green frosting, and the rest of the cookie with orange frosting.
Decorate faces with M&Ms, gum drops, dots, licorice, candy corn, or whatever you want.
