Let me tell you a little about what inspired this Easy Glazed 4 Ingredient Pumpkin Cookies recipe. The story is funny and the recipe is fabulously easy! If you can get your hands on a box of cake mix and some store bought frosting then this recipe is for you!
I have this girlfriend, who I won’t name (Melissa Polk, that’s her name!), who loves everything pumpkin. When I say everything pumpkin, I mean everything! A couple of years back, I had helped this “unnamed” friend with a project. She being the aahmazing person that she is, sent me an Amazon gift card for helping. I told her time and time again that I was helping a friend and needed nothing in return. So, when I unexpectedly received the gift card, I immediately came up with a plan.
Make cookies from a box of cake mix and use store bought frosting to make a glaze with these easy glazed 4 Ingredient Pumpkin Cookies.
Remember, I said she loves pumpkin? I take that gift card and purchase every pumpkin thing I can find and have it shipped to her. Hey, I told her not to give me anything.  When she received the package, and figured out it was from me, we laughed until we cried. I have a feeling she learned her lesson. A friend is a friend. We don’t owe each other anything except friendship.
In the honor of the season of giving thanks and my girlfriend who loves pumpkin, I give you this super easy Glazed 4 Ingredient Pumpkin Cookies recipe made from a box of
cake mix with glaze made from store bought frosting recipe.
