Helpful Tips for Making Cake Mix Pumpkin Spice Cookies

Don’t overmix the batter. We’ve talked about this before on the blog, but overmixing any batter ends up making it dry. When mixing the wet ingredients in with the dry, fold it together until just combined.
Use a cookie scoop in lieu of spoons. Years ago I would use spoons to drop the batter onto my cookie sheet, and it was SO time consuming, messy, and the cookies ended up being all different sizes. This cookie scoop set is super affordable and has saved a ton of time/mess.
Spray the bottom of a glass cup with non-stick spray and gently press on the top of each cookie before baking. This will help the cookie bake more evenly and creates a perfect round shape.
Use a wire rack with a parchment-lined cookie sheet underneath for glazing your cookies. This will catch any extra glaze and then you can throw the parchment paper away for easy clean-up.
If you foresee having leftover cookies, don’t glaze them until you are ready to eat. These cookies stay fresh for several days in an airtight container and can easily be glazed 30 minutes to an hour before you are ready to eat.
