2 Ingredient Pumpkin Cookies

Ok these are definitely not a "clean food", however they are low in calories and fat and full of good-for-you pumpkin. I still have a family to feed, so even tho the kids aren't eating "clean" like I am, I like to give them healthier options and they love these!

Sweet Pumpkin Goodness!
2 Ingredient Pumpkin Cookies
Makes 30 cookies

Please Note: The can of pumpkin in the picture is a 29 oz. can. You do NOT want to use this much. Only 15 oz.).
My store didn't have small cans so I used half of the large can.
Ingredients:
1 (18.25 ounce) package spice cake mix (if you can find low-sugar, even better)
1 (15 ounce) can solid pack pumpkin
 
Directions:
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease cookie sheets. (I use stone sheets so no greasing needed)
  2. In a large bowl, stir together the cake mix and pumpkin until well blended.
  3. Drop by rounded spoonfuls onto the prepared cookie sheet (I use a cookie dough scoop).
  4. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes in the preheated oven.
  5. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
Scooping out the dough
Optional:
You can add mini chocolate chips or chopped walnuts or pecans to the batter before cooking. Remember when doing this, it does change the nutritional information.
