Guilt free Pumpkin Spice Holiday Cookies

The holidays are here and that means making time for holiday shopping, getting together with loved ones and good eats and treats! Today I’m bringing you a new recipe I tried out this week. Pumpkin Spice Cookies!

I never heard or even tried pumpkin spice cookies before however after completing my weekend shopping trip at the local grocery store, I literally stumbled upon an end cap with Betty Crocker Pumpkin Cookie Mix.

I’m admittedly a person with a sweet tooth so why not give this a try right? Best of all these cookies only have 1 gram of fat and 100 calories per serving! They are virtually guilt-free! So with that said, let’s bake some Pumpkin Spice Holiday Cookies!
