Ingredients

• 1 cup raisins
• 1 cup pumpkin puree
• ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
• 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
• 1 (16 ounce) container cream cheese frosting
• 1 (15.25 ounce) package yellow cake mix
• ¼ cup all-purpose flour, or more as needed

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2

Combine cake mix, pumpkin puree, melted butter, and pumpkin pie spice in a large bowl; beat with an electric mixer until well blended. Add 1/4 cup flour; mix until incorporated. Add more flour as needed until dough is no longer sticky. Mix in raisins.

Step 3

Drop spoonfuls of dough 2 inches apart onto the prepared baking sheets.

Step 4

Bake in the preheated oven until edges are golden, 10 to 12 minutes. Cool on the baking sheet for 1 minute before removing to a wire rack to cool, 8 to 10 minutes more.

Step 5

Top cookies with cream cheese frosting. Allow to set before serving, 8 hours to overnight. Cookies will be a little "tough" after baking but will soften overnight.
