Boy, already Wednesday evening. This Fall Break is flying around here.
Have you all seen these crazy new Pumpkin Spice “kisses” from Hershey’s? They are fantastic and the second I heard about them I knew I had to have them. The trick is not eating them all before you bake with them.
I decided to make a fun fall cookie with my new kisses. These are just like those peanut blossoms we all know and love, but with great fall pumpkin flavors. Now, I don’t know if we can all handle the 4 ingredients it takes to make these so brace yourselves for some slaving in the kitchen. No, seriously you can have these done from start to finish in about 15 minutes! Woo Hoo, I love cake mix cookies and kisses!
Alright, I think I’m a little sleep deprived today. One more thing, go find yourselves some nice sanding sugar, it’s a bit bigger than granulated sugar and makes a big difference. I got mine at Michaels, a craft store, in the cake decorating section. I know William Sonoma carries some too. It makes for a perfect crunchy coating, definitely a must!!
Don’t they have “Fall” written all over them? Thank you Inside Hershey Blog for the great photo.
Pumpkin Spice Blossoms
1 Spice Cake Mix 18.25 oz
14 oz can Libby’s Pumkin
½ Cup sanding sugar
1 bag Hershey’s Pumpkin Spice Kisses
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a stand or electric mixer beat the cake mix and pumpkin until well combined, about 45 seconds. With a cookie scoop, scoop dough and roll top half in sanding sugar (dough is sticky) then place onto a parchment or silpat lined baking sheet. Bake for 11-13 minutes, or until cooked through. Quickly transfer to a cooling rack and immediately press kisses into the center of each cookie. I immediately place cooling rack into the fridge for 15 minutes so the kisses don’t melt. I tried both ways and it melts down if just left at room temperature. Enjoy!
About 36 cookies

I haven’t seen these kisses in this neck of the woods..the cookies look fabulous Jenny!
The sanding sugar makes them look so pretty!
After reading your post this morning, I went on the look for the pumpkin kisses, for my girls and I to make the cookie. However, we were unsuccessful in our hunt. Though, we did find another flavor…have you seen the Caramel Apple kisses?? They are really good. I’m gonna keep looking though!
that is awesome! i’m laughing.
Thanks for the tip about the sanding sugar. I never would have thought to try Michael’s
I have not seen these. I must make these. How festive indeed. Thanks so much for sharing.

Wow, these look delicious. I need to find some of those pumpkin kisses.
I HAVE to find those kisses!! I love anything pumpkin flavored so those are a must have!
Thanks for sharing…
Well I think that these are a new family holiday tradition… Thanks
I have not seen the pumpkin kisses, but I am on the look now. My kids and hubby would love these. Thanks for sharing all your wonderful recipes with all of us.
Oh my word… That pumkin/scarecrow has got to be the funniest thing I have ever seen in my life. I love it!!!
Your baked goodies look wonderful! I have got to try those pumpkin kisses.
You gave me a real good laugh with that pumpkin photo!
These were SO EASY and tasted great. They were a huge hit at my family dinner party today. Thanks again!
My friend brought these over to me the other day, and without know they were from your site, I mentioned how I’ve been loving your recipes. Then she said I think these are from the same site! They were amazing!
These look so yummy!! I have called all the Target’s in the area and they are out of the Pumpkin Spice kisses right now. Hopefully they get some more in soon. I was wondering if raw sugar would work instead of sanding sugar? I do not know if there would be a taste differance or not, the size looks simaliar. Thanks for the great recipes.
I can’t wait to try that recipe! They look deeeelish! That scarecrow buy is the funniest. Love it
Did you use Libby’s pumpkin or Libby’s pumpkin pie mix?
Lisa
Lisa,
I used Libby’s pumpkin. Enjoy!
We made these today and they were so easy and delicious. My 8 year old daughter made them they were so easy. I couldn’t find the kisses so we just put candy pumpkins on the top instead. Thanks for the great recipe. It is a keeper!
Love this idea – so quick and easy!
i love your cookie idea and i can’t wait to make them with our boys. unfortunately it might have to wait until next year b/c i can’t find the pumpkin spice kisses anywhere. target, kroger, cvs, walmart, food lion…i hit them all up to try this cookie recipe out! i haven’t given up just yet though!
i’m new to your blog and LOVE it!
Oh I love those cookies!! I think I have to try them! Love your new blog look too!!! Your boys are adorable and so are you!!!
Hugs!
Cath
These cookies are in the oven now! Can’t wait to try them. I love creme cheese so I added half a pack of creme cheese! Yummy! I am such a messy baker…It was real sticky…how do yours look so perfect?? You are such a great cook, and you make it all look yummy too! Thanks for this blog!!
Just made these for Halloween at work! They were super messy to scoop and roll in the sugar, the dough is so sticky! But they taste amazing!!! Also, I didn’t have wire cooling racks to move to the fridge so the kisses wouldn’t melt, so I unwrapped all my kisses and put them in the freezer for about 30 mins ahead of time. That seemed to do the trick! Thanks for this great idea!!
[...] had found a great sounding recipe from Picky Palate. But trying to be more cost conscious I opted for the Betty Crocker Pumpkin Spice cookie mix [...]
OK, its 2011 but I am making your 2008 recipe
I could only find the standard size box cake mix, 15.25oz smaller than
the recipe calls for. I am going with it, and hope these turn out ok.
Thanks for the great ideas, this is a great blog!
