ingredients

1 (18 1/4 ounce) package spice cake mix
²⁄₃ cup canned pumpkin puree
1 large egg
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1 cup raisins or 1 cup dried cranberries
Vanilla Icing
4 cups powdered sugar, sifted
2 -3 tablespoons whole milk
¹⁄₂ teaspoon vanilla extract

directions

Preheat oven to 350°; position oven rack in middle of oven; spray cookie sheets with nonstick cooking spray.
In a bowl, place half the cake mix along with pumpkin, egg, oil, and pumpkin pie spice.
Blend with electric mixer on medium-high speed 1-2 minutes, until blended and smooth.
Stir in remaining cake mix and raisins with a wooden spoon until all dry ingredients are moistened.
Drop by teaspoonfuls, 2 inches apart, onto cookie sheets.
If desired, may sprinkle tops with chopped nuts; gently press nuts into dough.
Bake 10-13 minutes or until edges are set and centers are just barely set when lightly touched (do not overbake).
Cool 1 minute on sheets; transfer to wire racks with metal spatula; cool completely.
Vanilla Icing: In a bowl, combine the powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons milk, and vanilla; stir until icing is well blended, smooth, and spreadable; add more milk by teaspoonfuls if consistency is too thick.
Drizzle cooled cookies with Vanilla Icing.
