Frosted Pumpkin Spice Cookies!

Hi friends! So today I wanted to share a recipe with you!
Since fall is officially in session, I have been using pumpkin like crazy!
I came up with this recipe and I hope you all enjoy it :)

 

Pumpkin Spice Cookies with Buttercream Frosting!

These are the perfect cookies for a crisp autumn day! They are super soft and are just perfect with the buttercream frosting :)

What you need:

• Spice Cake Cake Mix
• Can of Pure Pumpkin (not pumpkin pie filling!)
• Cinnamon
• Pumpkin Pie Spice
• Buttercream Frosting

What you do:

1. Preheat oven to 350°. Mix Spice Cake Mix and Can of Pumpkin together in a mixing bowl.

2. Add in dashes of Cinnamon and Pumpkin Pie Spice. Use as much or as little as you want, according to how spiced and pumpkin-y you want your cookies to taste.

3. Using a spoon, portion out balls of the pumpkin/ cake mix mixture onto a cookie sheet. Make 1"-2" balls and space out with at least 1"-2" between each one. They will get larger, so keep the spacing in mind.

4. Put in oven for 20-25 minutes. Pull out cookies when they are golden brown around the edges!

5. Wait until cookies are fully cooled and then add the buttercream frosting to the top of each cookie. Once frosting is applied, put a dash of Pumpkin Pie Spice on each cookie!

Let me know if you try out the recipe and what you think!

Enjoy :)

Easy as 1-2-3...

Hey! Sorry I've been absent lately, I'm taking 4 online classes this summer and it's a major time suck!
Anyway, I have a fun low fat/ low cal recipe!
It's super super simple
It's called 3-2-1 cake!
What you need:
A box of cake mix (any kind will do)
A box of Angel Food Cake Mix
A mug or small glass bowl

This is what I used for mine:

1. Take the two cake mixes, the flavor you choose and the angel food, and dump them both into the same gallon zip lock bag. Mix them up in the bag, so that you can't see a difference in the two. You can keep this in your pantry for anytime you would like a sweet snack, it has multiple servings! We made 3 flavors at our house, strawberry, vanilla, and the triple chocolate for me!

2. Take 3 tablespoons of the mixture and put into your microwavable mug or glass.

3. Now add 2 tablespoons of water to this and stir it in really well! (At this point you can also add in a little extra flavor if desired. I added a couple raisinettes to mine for fun! You can probably add anything from nuts to marshmallows!)

4. Now put it in the microwave for 1 minute! When taking out of the microwave, be really careful, it will be pretty hot! 

You are all done! If you want, you can even put whip cream or fruit on top :)

It's a nice tasty treat if you don't want to go overboard on calories, but have a nagging sweet tooth!

It's super easy to remember as well, 3 tablespoons mix, 2 tablespoons of water, 1 minute in the microwave!

Let me know if you try it!

Here is what I calculated the nutrition facts to be on mine, so any mix will probably be around the same:
