Ingredients

  

• 1 15.25 oz box of spice cake mix
• 1 15 oz can of pumpkin puree
• 1 cup dark chocolate chunks optional
• 1 cup dried cherries chopped (optional)
• Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)

Instructions

 

• Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
• In a large mixing bowl, stir together the spice cake mix and pumpkin puree until fully combined. If you're using optional mix-ins like chocolate chunks or dried cherries, fold them in at this stage.
• Drop the dough by rounded tablespoons onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie. For more even baking, gently flatten each cookie slightly with damp hands.
• Bake the cookies for 10 to 12 minutes, or until they are set and lightly browned. Allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 2 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
• If desired, dust the cooled cookies with powdered sugar before serving.
