2 Ingredient Weight Cookies Ingredients:

• Spice Cake Mix– You can swap this out with a different flavor of cake mix, like white or yellow, but the spice adds an excellent flavor to the muffins.
• Pumpkin-Be sure to use one that doesn’t have extras added to it as this will affect the calories and weight watchers points on the recipe.

Important note: The ingredients listed on the cake mix are not needed for this recipe, just the cake mix powder in the box. Ignore the water amount, eggs, and oil on the box.

How To Make Pumpkin Cookies With Cake Mix:

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.

Mix spice cake and pumpkin.

The batter will be very thick and can be hard to stir together. I also used a spatula to scrape the bowl as well to make sure no cake mix powder stuck to the bowl.

Scoop onto cookie sheet!! 

Pro-tip: Use a cookie scoop to make the cookie shapes and keep them uniform for sizing.

Bake for about 8-12 minutes.

Use a toothpick to test to see if the cookies are done. The toothpick will come out clean from the middle of the cookie.

Remove to a baking rack and allow to cool.

Ways To Lower The Calories

Using a sugar-free or low-sugar spice cake mix will lower the calories.

How To Store Two Ingredient Pumpkin Cookies

Allow the cookies to fully cool off and then store in an airtight container or bag. To keep them fresh, keep them on the counter for about five days.

They can be frozen for 30 to 60 days in an airtight container or freezer bag.

Storing leftovers properly requires the right tools! My preferred storage method is if the leftovers can be sealed in a food saver. If not, then an air-tight container or Ziploc bag for the fridge is the way I go. The airtight container or a freezer Ziploc bag are the next best bet for freezing the leftovers. I also use a food scale to measure portions into serving sizes.

A Note From Jenny

When starting any healthy lifestyle, consult a doctor to address any personal health concerns. Some things can only be addressed medically and by a professional. Blood sugar levels, blood pressure, and hormones checked at a physical before starting and at least once a year, as these all can affect an active lifestyle.

With so many different programs, such as Weight Watchers, Keto, and macros, it can be hard to know what to pick. (If you’re interested in Weight Watchers, you can sign up -> here and sign up for $10/month for 10 months.)

I personally use the app Myfitnesspal to track my food.  I use macros and focus on High Protein (calories, fat, protein, and carbohydrates) and rotate through cuts and maintenance calories. (Use a calculator like this -> here)  . I did WW for years, but now that I am more maintenance, with cuts throughout the year, and focusing on mobility with strength training. There is no right or wrong answer, as all bodies are different.
