Pumpkin Moon Pies
"Soft pumpkin cookies filled with a light and smooth cream cheese fluff. The cookies are good all by themselves, and the cream cheese fluff is a wonderful fruit dip, base for a fruit pizza, or frosting for a cake. It is even relatively healthy if you use low fat cream cheese and light Cool Whip."

So the pumpkin moon pie recipe states to just combine a package of spice cake mix with the pumpkin puree for the "cookie" part of the pies. So, we're not supposed to add the eggs, oil, or water, at all?? How will a 15 oz can of pumpkin puree replace eggs, oil, and water? Especially, the eggs.

So yummy! Taste just like ones my family used to pay an arm and a leg for! -
Easy and delish. Thanks for the great alternative to pumpkin roll or pumpkin pie (which I don't like). My daughter and I will make this again, a new family favorite for the holidays.
