Extra Easy Cake Mix Pumpkin Cookies

1 (14 ounce) can 100% pure pumpkin
2 eggs
1/2 cup applesauce
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 (18.25 ounce) package spice cake mix
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease two baking sheets.

Beat the pumpkin, eggs, applesauce, and vanilla together in a large mixing bowl. Stir in the cake mix, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves until well blended and creamy. Drop by spoonfuls on prepared the baking sheets.

Bake in preheated oven until tops are firm when lightly touched, 8 to 10 minutes. Cool on racks.

This recipe makes a cakey cookie. You can make it denser and firmer by substituting a stick of softened butter for the applesauce. For a different flavor try replacing the pumpkin with ripe banana.
