Pumpkin, pumpkin, pumpkin and more pumpkin! Pumpkin food is just about the best thing out there, in my opinion at least. Around this time of year my family and I like to have some fun with the flavor trends that go on, so it is always a must to make a special treat! My favorite is pumpkin cookies! For this yummy treat, my lovely sister helped me whip some up. Come read along on our journey to making amazing pumpkin spice cookies!
First step before the baking process is to gather all your ingredients. What you’ll need:
- packet of pumpkin spice cookies
- one egg
- a stick of soften butter
- cream cheese frosting
- tablespoon
- cooking whisk
- cookie sheet
- a non-stick baking sheet
- large bowl
What we are going to do before any major steps is to preheat the oven to 375(F). This way when we are finished preparing our cookies, the oven will be ready to go.
After we have those two steps out of the way it’s time to start creating yummy cookies! Start off by placing all ingredients together. Grab one of your packets of cookie mix and pour it into the bowl that was pulled out earlier. Pick up your butter and dump it into your cookie mix. Make sure your butter is soft enough otherwise when we begin to mix, it could get challenging. Go ahead and crack your egg into the combination. Lastly, you're going to want to take your tablespoon and fill it twice with water pouring it over top of the rest of our ingredients.
Fabulous! Once finished adding everything, go ahead with a baking whisk and mix together! This step may be a little difficult, just keep with it and eventually you will get a good mixture of cookie dough. If you have one, you can always use an electric mixture that may work better!
Now that we have our dough, we can go ahead rolling them up into little balls. Beforehand, I like to place the non-stick baking sheet over our cookie sheet to make for easier removal at the end or you can always spray a little bit of pam cooking spray down and that works just as well! To get a good size cookie, what helps is if you scoop it with a normal spoon and use that amount or you can go ahead and pick whatever size you like. Make sure when placing them on your sheet place them far enough away from one another so when you bake them they don’t run into each other as they expand.
Since we already preheated our oven it should be ready for us to put our cookies in. Go ahead and place your first batch of cookies in. Set your timer for roughly eleven minutes. During the wait, if you still have cookie dough left, repeat the steps just completed. This way once the first batch has finished baking we can replace them with our second batch! This time around while we are waiting for our first set of cookies to cool and the second ones to finish baking I like to clean up a bit so we have a nice area to frost.
Once all cookies are baked and cooled we can begin to frost. Make sure you let your cookies cool nicely so when we smear the frosting over top we don’t rip the top off the goody. You can have as much fun with this step as you want. I like to frost on the topping in semi circles so I can get this cool whip effect but that is totally optional.
Now that we have finished preparing and baking, it's time to set them out and enjoy! I hope you had fun with creating these delicious pumpkin goodies!
