    Pumpkin Spice Cookies with Orange Glaze

    October 8, 2020 by sara Leave a Comment

    There are approximately 4 million pumpkin recipes on the internet, but please allow me to present you with just one more. They come together incredibly quickly, and they don’t spread in the oven, which means you can really pack them in on the baking sheet (fewer dishes, yay!!) These cookies have an orange glaze that compliments the pumpkin (you look smashing, dear) and just elevates them a smidge over the competition, in my opinion.

    Pumpkin Spice Cookies with Orange Glaze

    • 1 package of yellow cake mix

    • ½ cup quick cooking oats

    • 2 teaspoons of pumpkin pie spice

    • 1 egg

    • 1 15 ounce can pure pumpkin (not pumpkin pie filling)

    • 2 tablespoons canola or vegetable oil

    • 3 cups confectioners sugar

    • 1 teaspoon grated orange zest

    • 2-3 tablespoons of fresh orange juice

    • 3-4 teaspoons of milk, half and half, or non dairy milk (may or may not need)

    To Make:

    1. Preheat oven to 350

    2. In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, oats, and pumpkin pie spice.

    3. In a second bowl, beat together the egg, pumpkin and oil. Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just moistened.

    4. Drop by 2 tablespoonfuls onto baking sheets coated with non stick spray, or lined with parchment paper, and flatten the balls with the back of a spoon or cup. These cookies don’t spread at all, so feel free to really pack the in on the baking sheet. It wont affect the baking times.

    5. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until edges are golden brown. Remove to wire racks to cool.

    To Make Glaze

    1. In a medium bowl combine confectioners sugar, orange zest and enough of the orange juice to get to a spreadable consistency. If you dont have enough OJ to get the frosting to a spreadable state, add your choice of milk by the ½ teaspoonful until you reach your desired consistency. Frost the cookies while still warm - it’s much easier that way.




    Yum
