Soft Pumpkin Spice Cookies – a box of pudding mix makes these cookies extra soft and yummy. A favorite pumpkin cookie recipe!
Well, it’s September now, which means pumpkin season is in full force around here! I love the smell and taste of pumpkin spice, so I bake pumpkin goodies as often as I can.
My cousin gave me the recipe for these incredible pumpkin spice cookies. The secret is a box of pumpkin spice pudding mix. It makes them so soft, and adds yummy flavor. It can be hard to find in stores, so I always grab it when I see it. You can also get it on amazon.
If you’ve ever used pudding mix in cookies before, you know that it makes them turn out perfectly soft every time. These pumpkin cookies are proof of that. Seriously, they are so, so yummy!
We love them with white chocolate chips, but you can use any flavor you like. You could also add nuts. Pecans are my personal favorite, especially if they are toasted. Yummo.
I hope you’ll give these cookies a try, they are a must during fall baking season!
