Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

In a large bowl, combine spice cake mix and 100% pumpkin until well mixed.

Use a fork to start mixing, then switch to a spatula to combine thoroughly.

Prepare cookie sheets by greasing or lining them.

Using a cookie scooper or tablespoon, drop the mixture onto the cookie sheet, leaving space between each cookie.

Bake in the center of the oven for 15 to 20 minutes until the center is firm and dry to the touch.

Let the cookies cool on the pan for at least 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.

To make a simple glaze, mix 1 cup powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla, and 1 to 2 tablespoons milk until pourable.

Optionally, add pumpkin pie spice to the glaze to taste.

For cream cheese frosting, mix 1/2 cup sugar, 1/2 stick of butter, and 3/4 teaspoon vanilla until creamy. Optionally add a pinch of salt.
