This recipe for 2-Ingredient Pumpkin Cookies is simple, just stir together the batter, drop spoonfuls on a cookie sheet, and bake. It’s really that easy friends!

How to make 2-Ingredient Pumpkin Cookies

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line cookie sheets with parchment paper. Gather your ingredients.

In a large bowl, mix the cake batter and pumpkin puree together until combined.

Then use a spoon to drop rounded amounts onto the cookie sheets lined with parchment paper.

Bake the cookies in the preheated oven until centers are set, 13 to 15 minutes. Let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack so they can cool completely.

Recipe Tips!

What if I don’t have a spice cake mix? That’s okay! Use a white cake mix and add pumpkin spice seasoning to taste, I would start with about 1/2 teaspoon and work my way up from there, knowing my family, we would use about 1 1/2 teaspoons. You can also use a yellow cake mix, but this may be overly sweet.

How do these cookies bake up? These cookies, will bake and come out exactly how they look when you scoop the dough onto the pan. So if you don’t want a little “pillow” like cookies, just take a butter knife and just swirl and press gently down on the cookies to make them a bit flatter. But the dough is sticky, so be gentle. You can also use a fork like you would for a peanut butter cookie.

What is the texture of these cookies? I would say they remind me more of a soft muffin than a cookie, but they are easy to assemble and make a great snack or breakfast treat.
