These pumpkin spice cookies with cake mix and cream cheese morsels are a quick and cozy fall treat. Made with just a handful of ingredients, they come together in minutes and bake up soft and flavorful with minimal effort. Each bite combines warm spice and rich pumpkin flavor with pockets of sweet cream cheese.
Using a box of spice cake mix as the base keeps things simple, while canned pumpkin adds moisture and seasonal flavor. The cream cheese morsels melt slightly into the cookies for a creamy, tangy contrast that pairs perfectly with the warm spices.
We picked this recipe because it's easy to make, requires no fancy equipment, and chills quickly for fast baking. It's a great option when you want homemade cookies without the hassle.
