Pumpkin Cookies OT

[sue.young]

Has any tried the pumpkin cookies that are made using a box of spice cake mix and a can of pumpkin? I am not sure if it is canned pumpkin or pumpkin pie filling. Got this from a neighbor who has moved away. Thanks for your help.

Hi Sue,

 

Since the Spice Cake Mix has many of the the same spices as the pie filling, I would try the solid pack pumpkin first, unless you like real spicey!

Hi Harvey,

 

I am going to try them this afternoon and will let you know.

Thanks

it's the straight up canned pumpkin. Believe it or not, you can also take a boxed Devil's food cake mix, leave out the eggs and oil and anything else they tell you to add, and just add a small can of plain pumpkin..it's delish!

They worked great, just so easy! Thanks for your help. Happy Halloween.

Ooooo, I love to try new stuff! Just the cake mix and a can of solid pack pumpkin huh? Bake at what temp and for how long?

[sue.young]

I baked them at 350 for 20 to 25 minutes. I also added 1 teaspoon of vanilla. I think they are best eaten the same day. They got really moist when I coverd them overnight.

When I was in Weight Watchers the devils food and pumpkin cake recipie was really popular it was like 3 points for a really really fudgy muffin. I usually add about a 1/4 cup of water to make it easier to mix.

Slap a little cream cheese frosting on those cookies and I am in heaven.:p

What size can for the chocolate pumpkin cake recipe, 16 oz?

[sue.young]

NNY9282510 It is the 15 ounce plain punkin puree (not the pie filling). Very quick and easy-enjoy.

Sue,

 

Wondering if you are still on our Radiance cruise next year? Have not seen you on the Roll call thread since you first posted. We have started our meet n mingle sign up. I have links to both listed below. Come on back.

[sue.young]

cynangie,

 

Yes, we are still planning on the cruise. This is starting my busy season at work (I am a pharmacist) so not much energy/time to post. We have signed up for the M ans M. Will have our friends Mary and Pat sign up soon.

Sue,

 

Glad you are on board still. :) Click on my link to get to the roll call thread if you want to put it on your subscribed threads. It gets pushed back pretty quick over there.

 

Talk to you later

Here is a delish and easy recipe. Make your favorite pumpkin pie filling such as 1 can of pumpkin, pumpkin pie seasoning, 1 can evaporated milk, 1 cup sugar (or 1 small can of frozen concentrate apple juice instead of the sugar) 3 eggs. Mix and pour into an oiled 9X13 cake can.

 

Sprinkle a yellow cake mix straight from the box over the pumpkin mix. Top with 1 stick butter or margarine melted.

 

Bake for 45 minutes at 350degrees. This is sooooo good. Dont be afraid of the stick of butter. Pie crust has as much. or more, fat.

Had this pie on Thanksgiving, had a very good texture and did not taste too sweet. I might add some pumpkin pie spice next time.
