Equipment

• 1 Large mixing bowl
• 1 Mixing spoon
• 1 Measuring cups and spoons
• 1 Cookie sheet

Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

• 1 Box Yellow or white cake mix
• 3/4 cup Pumpkin puree
• 1/2 cup Low-fat vanilla Greek yogurt
• 2 Large eggs
• 1 tsp Vanilla extract
• 1 tsp Pumpkin spice seasoning

Instructions

 

• Preheat your oven to 350°F.
• In a mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, eggs, Greek

  yogurt, protein powder, and pumpkin spice

  seasoning. Use an electric mixer or a whisk to blend

  everything together until a soft dough forms.
• Once the dough is well mixed, drop rounded

  spoonfuls of it onto a baking sheet lined with

  parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Space the

  dough about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading

  during baking.
• Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and

  bake for 10 minutes. Keep an eye on the cookies as

  they bake and remove them from the oven when

  they turn golden around the edges.
• Carefully transfer the baked cookies to a cooling

  rack and let them cool completely. They will be soft

  when warm but will firm up as they cool.
• Once cooled, the cookies are ready to be enjoyed!

  Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room

  temperature.

Notes

Keep an eye on the baking time, as it may vary
depending on your oven and the size of the cookies.
Adjust the baking time accordingly to achieve your
desired level of softness or crispness.

Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few
minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack to
prevent them from breaking.
