Pumpkin Spice Cookies

If you're in the seasonal mood, you'll love my sister Gayla's cookie recipe. They taste fabulous and oh-so-Fallish.

PUMPKIN SPICE COOKIES

1 c. canned pumpkin
1/3 c. butter, soft
1 pkg. spice cake mix
2 eggs
1/2 c. milk
1 recipe Marshmallow-Spice Frosting

375 oven. Mix butter and pumpkin until smooth. Add cake mix, eggs, and milk; beat on low until combined then on medium for one minute. Drop mounds on greased foil or parchment paper. Bake 15 min. Frost when cooled. Serve immediately or cover and chill.

Frosting:
1/4 c. soft butter
4 oz soft cream cheese
Beat until smooth. Add 1 cup powdered sugar, 1/4 of 7 oz. jar marshmallow cream, 1/2 tsp. vanilla, and 1/4 tsp each cinnamon and nutmeg. Beat until well combined.

Variation: to make them into Pumpkin Spice Whoopies, double the frosting recipe and use as oreo-style filling.
