Just in Time for Thanksgiving....Pumpkin Pie Cookies

These are gooey, sticky little boogers to work with, so beware!

I had to spray my hands with PAM every other cookie to keep them from sticking ...Also I alternated the coating using either the crushed graham cracker or the powdered sugar (because I had put too much of both in the dipping bowls, this is how I came up with the Pb&pumpkin truffles) I'll have to make more before putting them on my blog cause the kids in the neighborhood ate them all before I could get a picture of them.... 


This is what you'll need.....  1 box of Betty Crocker spice cake mix
1 bag of mini marshmallows
1/4 cup of can pumpkin (not the pie mix...Also start with 1/4c and start mixing into the cake mix, if still crumbly, then add a tablespoon of more pumpkin at a time until it forms some what of a ball, should be kinda gooey)
1 sleeve of NABISCO, Graham Crackers, Cinnamon, Low Fat
1.5 cup of powdered sugar



Preheat oven to 350
Put cake mix into a large bowl and add 1/4c of pumpkin...add more, 1 tablespoon at a time until it's forms a ball (I had put half the can and ended up having to add a 1/4 cup of flour to it, so start small) set aside...put graham crackers in a med size bowl and crush the graham cracker but keep it small and chunky, not powdery. Put the powered sugar in a med size bowl as well...
spray hands with PAM (will have to do this more then once) and take out enough dough to form a 1in ball...place 2 mini marshmallows inside and form the ball around them, then either drop the ball into the graham cracker and then the sugar or just the crushed cracker...place on a cookie sheet about 1in apart and bake for about 10-12 minutes. Let these cool for 1min on the cookie sheet, before putting on a wire cooling rack (these may break open, just remove from cookie sheet before cooling or they will stick to the sheet and become hard to get off)


If you have left over powdered sugar and crushed graham crackers then put them into a zip lock baggie and hold onto them....I will be posting the PB& Pumpkin truffles soon and you can use these for this yummy candy!
