{taste this} pumpkin spice no bake cookies

No bake cookies are some of my favorite things ... tasty, easy and no need to heat up your kitchen!  And when I saw these pumpkin spice no bake cookies over at Aunt Peg's Recipe Box (pinned to my sweet stuff Pinterest board) ... I knew I wanted to give them a try and share them with you!  Just in time for Thanksgiving!!

So, let's {taste this} and make these pumpkin spice no bake cookies!!






These taste just like a cinnamon-y old school oatmeal cookie with the right amount of pumpkin spice gooness!  A batch of 55+ cookies was almost gone before lunch time at my office ... that is always a good sign ;)

pumpkin spice no bake cookies

Yield:  around 55 cookies

2 cups granulated sugar

3/4 cup butter
2/3 cup milk
1 small box pumpkin spice pudding mix
3 1/2 cups quick cook oats
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
pumpkin pie spice to sprinkle on top (optional)

In a large pan, stir together sugar, butter and milk.  Bring to a boil and allow to boil for 2 minutes.  Turn off the heat and stir in the pudding mix until thoroughly incorporated.  Stir in vanilla and oats.  Allow to stand for 5 minutes to thicken.


Drop by tablespoons onto waxed paper (I actually used a small cookie scoop from Pampered Chef that worked perfectly!) and sprinkle with pumpkin pie spice.  Allow to cool completely and store in an air tight container.




These will travel perfectly if you are heading out of town for Thanksgiving and they make a unique addition to your Fall dessert table!  


Here are a few more of my favorite EASY cookies:

  26. Hi Keri!
    I'm the blogger behind Aunt Peg's Recipe Box, and I am so excited to see your version of this recipe! I love the touch of sprinkling a little pumpkin pie spice on them!
    These cookies are a must with my family now, so I've got to stock up on the pumpkin pie pudding mix before it's gone after the holidays.
    Thank you for the link back to my post, and have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
    Oh, and I actually found you through Sumo's Sweet Stuff

  27. Hi! I saw this featured on Sumo's Sweet Stuff and had to find out who made them! They look delicious and can't wait to try the recipe...might have to be next summer, though, because I have no idea where I'd find pumpkin spice pudding mix in England. If anyone knows, please please share your valuable knowledge with me!! :-)

    1. I found the pumpkin spice pudding at our local Walmart and I've seen it at Target as well. If you can't find it, you could try a vanilla pudding and add some pumpkin pie spice, perhaps?!

  34. These sound absolutely wonderful! I can't find pumpkin spice pudding mix anywhere. Crud. But I'll keep searching. Thanks!

  37. Use Butterscotch Pudding, add spice if needed. I have a pumpkin mousse recipe that uses it and it adds a nice richness to the background... now you can make it all year long!!
