Happy Thanksgiving :: Pumpkin Cookies to Drool Over...

I hope by now everyone is relaxing with family somewhere but I have a feeling that most of you are still traveling to your destinations! Get there safely and once you do.... MAKE THESE!

I have been making these for years as soon as the November chill finally sets in.  Ever since a college friends boyfriend made them for our house {senior year we lived with 7 girls... yes you heard right... 7 girls. Before that was 66 girls though so it felt like being alone}.  Anyway after he brought these over I immediately got the recipe and have been making them ever sense.  Cookie doesn't even describe it right... it's like a cookie, cake thing. Whatever it is Betty Crocker... you are one smart women.

I made these Monday night for Southern Boy and to take to work Tuesday.  Southern Boy had initial reservations about them and almost got a back up just in case he didn't like them.  He has turned over to the dark yummy side!  Everyone at work seemed to love them too. And they are kind of ridiculously easy even though they seem like they took all day which is ALWAYS a plus in my book.

Ingredients:

1

box Betty Crocker® SuperMoist® yellow cake mix

2

teaspoons pumpkin pie spice

1

cup canned pumpkin (not pumpkin pie mix)

1/4

cup butter or margarine, softened

1

cup Betty Crocker® Rich & Creamy vanilla frosting

12 3

In large bowl, beat cake mix, pumpkin pie spice, pumpkin and butter with electric mixer on low speed 1 minute. Stir in raisins.

4

On cookie sheet, drop dough by generous tablespoonfuls 2 inches apart.

Bake 10 to 13 minutes or until set and light golden brown around edges. Cool 1 to 2 minutes; remove from cookie sheet to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 30 minutes. Frost with frosting. Store loosely covered.

See?? Easy as smeezy!!!  Enjoy and have a wonderful Thanksgiving!! {check back here tonight for a few Thanksgiving Pinterest outfit ideas if you have as much trouble getting ready for this day as I do...}
