EASY PUMPKIN SPICE COOKIES (CAKE MIX)



Easy Pumpkin Spice Cookies (Cake Mix) image

In a hurry? Cake mix and canned pumpkin - that's it! Amazingly simple and they taste wonderful -honestly they're great! Moist and chewy inside, slightly crispy outside. There are other cake mix cookie recipes on Zarr and they're all very good, but this one is my family's favorite. Beginner and experienced chefs can all appreciate the ease of this recipe, plus they sell quickly at bake sales, and children love them.

Categories     Drop Cookies

Time 35m

Yield 36 cookies, 36 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 (18 1/4 ounce) box spice cake mix
1 (15 ounce) can solid-pack pumpkin (the small can)
1 cup chopped pecans (optional) or 1/2 cup raisins (optional)
1 cup cream cheese frosting (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Spray cookie sheets lightly with vegetable spray (Pam).
  • In a large bowl, mix together the cake mix and pumpkin with a fork or mixer until well blended; stir in nuts or raisins, if desired.
  • Drop by large rounded spoonfuls onto the cookie sheet; they don't flatten out much so however you place them on the sheet is pretty much how they'll look after baking.
  • Bake for 8 to 15 minutes, depending on the size of your cookies.
  • Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for up to 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Frost, if desired.
  • How many cookies you get depends on how large you make them of course - just increase your baking time if making larger cookies (it's truly difficult to burn these, but they will get crispier & less moist); Mine, made with a medium size cookie scoop, take 13-15 minutes to bake and yield about 3 dozen.

SPICED PUMPKIN COOKIE CAKE



Spiced Pumpkin Cookie Cake image

Two spiced shortbread cookies are soaked with a little coffee, then layered with a light pumpkin whipped cream in this rich, elegant icebox cake. You don't need to be precious with the cookies or the cream while preparing them - they're fairly foolproof - yet they come together into a stunning make-ahead dessert. If you don't have pumpkin pie spice but have a relatively well stocked spice cabinet, you can make your own homemade version (see Tip).

Time 1h

Yield 1 (9-inch) cake

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup/230 grams unsalted butter (2 sticks), at room temperature
1 1/2 cups/190 grams confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons pumpkin pie spice, plus more for sprinkling
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
2 cups/255 grams all-purpose flour
1 3/4 cups/415 milliliters cold heavy whipping cream
1/2 cup/4 1/2 ounces canned pumpkin purée (not pie filling)
1/2 cup prepared coffee, at room temperature

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 375 degrees. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, add the butter, 1 cup confectioners' sugar, pumpkin pie spice, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and the salt. Beat on low speed until most of the sugar has been incorporated into the butter, then increase the speed to medium-high and beat until the ingredients are completely combined, stopping to scrape down the sides of the bowl and beater as needed.
  • Turn the mixer off, add the flour, and beat on low, slowly increasing the speed until the flour is incorporated, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Add 1/4 cup of the heavy cream and beat on medium-high until the mixture is smooth.
  • Divide the mixture between two 9-inch cake pans. Using damp hands, press the mixture into the bottom and to the edges of each pan to create a flat layer. (It doesn't need to be perfect; any fingerprints will disappear during baking or get covered with whipped cream.)
  • Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until the shortbread is deep golden brown. Remove from the oven, and, using a fork, prick all over with a fork while the cookies are still soft. Allow to cool in the pans for at least 30 minutes, then run a butter knife along the edges of the pans to loosen the cookies. Carefully invert the cookies onto a wire rack to finish cooling.
  • Wash and dry the bowl of the stand mixer and set up the whisk attachment. Add the remaining 1 1/2 cups heavy cream, 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract to the bowl and beat on medium speed, slowly increasing the speed to medium-high and whisking until the cream is thick. Increase the speed to high and add the pumpkin purée 1 tablespoon at a time until the cream is stiff. (This happens quickly, so be careful not to overwhip!)
  • Assemble the cake by placing one of the cookies on the serving tray and slowly spooning 1/4 cup of the coffee overtop. Once the coffee has soaked into the cookie, add half the whipped cream mixture on top, spreading it to the edges. Repeat with the remaining cookie, coffee and whipped cream.
  • Sprinkle the top layer of whipped cream with more pumpkin spice, and cover the cake loosely with plastic wrap. Refrigerate the cake overnight - ideally a full 24 hours, so the cookies soften - and for up to 2 days before serving, for the best results.

SPICED PUMPKIN ICEBOX CAKE

For your Thanksgiving get-together, make this chilled twist on a favorite holiday pie a day in advance, so you can focus on other dishes. Or enjoy it in summer for a cool treat with autumn spices and flavors.

Categories     dessert

Time 12h50m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 1/4 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 package refrigerated 9-inch pie crusts (2 dough rounds)
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
2 cups walnuts
3 1/2 cups heavy cream
1 1/2 cups canned pumpkin pie puree
4 tablespoons confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • Position 2 racks in the center of the oven, and preheat to 400 degrees F. Stir together the granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon of the cinnamon in a small bowl.
  • Let the dough rounds soften at room temperature for 10 to 15 minutes, then unroll onto 2 baking sheets. Brush both sides of the dough rounds with the melted butter, and sprinkle the tops with the cinnamon sugar.
  • Bake the dough rounds, rotating the baking sheets halfway through, until they are light golden brown and crunchy, about 15 minutes. Let cool completely on the baking sheets.
  • While the dough bakes, spread the walnuts out on another baking sheet, and bake until toasted, about 8 minutes. Let cool, then finely chop.
  • Meanwhile, beat 3 cups of the heavy cream, the pumpkin pie puree and 3 tablespoons of the confectioners' sugar with an electric mixer in a large bowl until stiff peaks form, about 5 minutes.
  • Put 1 of the baked dough rounds on a cutting board, and center a 9-inch round cake pan on top of it. Use the cake pan as your guide to trim the dough with a knife into a 9-inch circle. Reserve the scraps in a bowl. Repeat with the remaining dough round. Crumble the scraps into bite-sized pieces.
  • Line the cake pan with plastic wrap, leaving a 2-inch overhang on all sides. Spread a third of the pumpkin mixture on the bottom of the pan, followed by 1 of the baked dough rounds. Top with half the remaining pumpkin mixture, then the crumbled dough scraps. Finish with the remaining pumpkin mixture and dough round. Cover tightly with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 12 hours or overnight.
  • When ready to serve, unwrap the plastic wrap, and invert the cake onto a platter. Remove the cake pan and plastic wrap. Press the chopped walnuts into the sides of the cake. Beat the remaining 1/2 cup heavy cream, 1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar and 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon together until soft peaks form; slather the mixture on top of the cake. Cut into slices with a serrated knife.

PUMPKIN COOKIES



Pumpkin Cookies image

More like portable cakes, these spiced pumpkin cookies are delightfully tender and moist, simple, and absolutely divine with a cup of coffee. Eat them just as they are, or give them a dusting of powdered sugar or more ground cinnamon, a drizzle of a confectioners' sugar glaze, or maybe a swipe of cream-cheese frosting. These little guys could even work as the top and bottom of the perfect pumpkin whoopie pie. Because these cookies are so moist, it's best to store them layered between parchment or wax paper in an airtight container at room temperature. You could also freeze them and thaw before serving.

Time 45m

Yield 2 1/2 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 1/2 cups/192 grams all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons ground ginger
1 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
8 tablespoons/113 grams unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 cup/220 grams packed light or dark brown sugar
1 large egg, at room temperature
3/4 cup/167 grams pumpkin purée
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Sanding sugar, for sprinkling (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Line two rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking powder, baking soda and kosher salt.
  • In a large bowl, with an electric mixer on medium, beat together the butter and sugar until fluffy, about 3 minutes. Beat in the egg, the pumpkin purée and vanilla extract until blended.
  • Add the flour mixture to the pumpkin mixture and beat just until combined.
  • Scoop the batter into 2-tablespoon scoops, at least 1 inch apart, onto the prepared sheets. Sprinkle with sanding sugar. Bake one sheet at time until the cookies are puffed, set and spring back when gently pressed in the center, about 12 minutes. Repeat with the second sheet.
  • Transfer the cookies to a rack to cool completely.

Tips:

  • Use High-Quality Pumpkin Puree: Fresh or canned pumpkin puree works well in this recipe. Choose a brand that is unsweetened and 100% pumpkin.
  • Don't Overmix the Batter: Overmixing can result in a tough cake. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Don't Overbake the Cake: This cake is done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overbaking can dry out the cake.
  • Let the Cake Cool Completely Before Frosting: This will help the frosting to set properly.
  • Be Creative with Your Frosting: You can use a variety of different frostings on this cake, such as cream cheese frosting, vanilla frosting, or maple frosting.

Conclusion:

This spiced pumpkin cookie cake is a delicious and festive dessert that is perfect for fall. It is easy to make and can be customized with your favorite frosting. Whether you are serving it at a party or enjoying it at home, this cake is sure to be a hit.
