Easy Pumpkin Spice Cookies

This is a great cookie for fall or anytime of the year.

1 Pkg Carrot cake mix with pudding
1 cup canned pumpkin
1/4 cup margarine or butter melted
1 egg
1-16 can Cream Cheese frosting (homemade is better but if you want a canned frosting try Duncan Heins 'homestyle'. Theirs is actually pretty good.)
36 candy candy pumpkins, similar to candy corns-optional

Heat oven to *350 degrees. Grease cookie sheets. In large bowl combine cake mix, pumpkin, margarine or butter and egg; stir until combined. Drop dough by rounded tablespoon onto greased cookie sheets.

Bake for 12-15 minutes. (I cook for 12 or they dry out.) Let cool for 2 minutes and remove from trays.

Frost cooled cookies with cream cheese frosting. Top with pumpkin candy or colored sugars for a cute presentation. We like them plain. They have a muffin like consistency. Makes about 3 dozen cookies.
