Directions:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the Cool Whip, pumpkin puree, yellow cake mix, and pumpkin pie spice. Stir until well combined.
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of the dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Tips to Make Pumpkin Spice Cool Whip Cookies

Make sure to use pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling, for the best flavor.
Don’t overbake the cookies; they should be soft in the center when you take them out of the oven.
For extra flavor, you can sprinkle a little more pumpkin pie spice on top before baking.

Variation (If Any)

You can add chocolate chips or chopped nuts to the cookie dough for added texture and flavor. Another option is to use spice cake mix instead of yellow cake mix for an extra spice kick.

FAQs

Can I freeze these cookies? Yes! You can freeze the cookies in an airtight container. Just make sure to separate layers with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

How can I make these cookies less sweet? You can reduce the amount of cake mix slightly or use sugar-free Cool Whip to cut down on the sweetness.

What if I don't have Cool Whip? You can substitute with homemade whipped cream, but the texture might be different. Be sure to add a little extra thickener if needed.
