Pumpkin Cake Mix Cookies with Cream Cheese Frosting

Ingredients

• 1 box spice cake mix (I used Duncan Hines)
• 2 eggs
• 1/3 cup pure pumpkin puree
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla 

• Cinnamon Cream Cheese Frosting Ingredients:
• 8 ounces full fat cream cheese (softened)
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)
• 1 cup powdered/confectioners sugar
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (divided)

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. 
2. In a large mixing bowl combine cake mix, eggs, pumpkin puree, and vanilla and mix well with a fork (or you could use a hand or stand mixer).
3. Create heaping 1 tablespoon cookie dough balls with a cookie scoop or spoon and place them about 2 inches apart on a baking sheet that has been lined with parchment paper (dough will be wet and sticky). 
4. Gently pat down the cookie dough balls (but no need to roll them into a ball). 
5. Bake for 9-10 minutes.
6. Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
7. While the cookies cool, make the frosting.
8. Using a hand mixer, beat cream cheese and butter together on low in a medium sized mixing bowl until there are no clumps. 
9. Add powdered sugar, vanilla, and 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon and beat well. 
10. Spoon frosting onto cookies and sprinkle with remaining cinnamon (optional).
