1 box Betty Crocker™ Super Moist™ Yellow Cake Mix
2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
1 cup canned pumpkin (not pumpkin pie mix)
1/4 cup butter or margarine, softened
1/2 cup raisins, if desired
1 cup from 1 tub (16 oz) Betty Crocker™ Rich & Creamy Vanilla Frosting

Instructions

Step 1
Heat oven to 375°F (350°F for dark or nonstick pans). Lightly grease or spray cookie sheet.

Step 2
In large bowl, beat cake mix, pumpkin pie spice, pumpkin and butter with electric mixer on low speed 1 minute. Stir in raisins.

Step 3
On cookie sheet, drop dough by generous tablespoonfuls 2 inches apart.

Recipe Tips

If pumpkin pie spice isn't handy, use 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg and 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger instead.
You can add 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts.
Sprinkle the tops of the frosted cookies with pumpkin pie spice or ground nutmeg for an extra flavor boost and a special look.
In place of the butter, you can use 1/4 cup vegetable oil.
