Impress your Halloween guests with easy and scrumptious Pumpkin Pie using cake mix and icing for the ultimate dessert!
Ingredients:
  • 1 box Betty Crocker™ Delights Super Moist™ Spice Cake Mix
  • 1 cup canned pumpkin (not pumpkin pie mix)
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon Betty Crocker™ neon orange gel food color
  • 1/4 cup butter or margarine, softened
  • 4 oz (half of 8-oz package) cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 teaspoon maple extract
  • 1 tube (4.25 oz) Betty Crocker™ black decorating icing
  • 1 tube (4.25 oz) Betty Crocker™ green decorating icing
  • Betty Crocker™ decorating tips (for use with Betty Crocker™ decorating icing)
Instructions:
  • Preheat the oven to 375°F and grease the cookie sheets. In a large bowl, use an electric mixer on medium speed to combine cookie ingredients until smooth. Use a (2 tablespoon-size) ice cream scoop to drop batter 2 inches apart onto the cookie sheets. Use damp hands to gently flatten the dough.
  • Bake for 12 to 15 minutes until set. Let cool for 5 minutes, then transfer from cookie sheets to cooling racks. Allow to cool completely for about 15 minutes.
  • In a medium bowl, whip up 1/4 cup of butter and cream cheese together using an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Slowly incorporate the powdered sugar until well combined, then mix in the maple extract.
  • Spread a generous tablespoon of filling on the bottom of a cooled cookie and sandwich it with another cookie, bottom side down, gently pressing them together.
  • Decorate the pies with black icing to create spooky jack-o’-lantern faces, then use green icing to pipe playful stems on top.
