Another tasty treat from Cake Mix Cookies, these mini-cookies “capture the unique flavor of chai” and will fill the house with their distinctive fragrance as they bake.” Instead of buying pumpkin pie spice, which costs about $4 for a very small container, I made my own using spices I already had and the Pumpkin Pie Mix from Herb Mixtures & Spicy Blends.
1 box (18.5 oz) Spice cake mix
1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
2 large eggs
2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
1/2 tsp cardamom
slivered almonds, for garnish, about 1/2 cup
Preheat oven to 350F and coat cookie sheets with cooking spray.
In a large bowl, combine half of the cake mix, melted butter, eggs, pumpkin pie spice, and cardamom. Using an electric mixer, beat on medium-high speed for 1-2 minutes until all ingredients are combined. Stir in remaining cake mix using a spoon until moist.
Using a teaspoon, roll dough into balls. Press slivered almonds on top. Bake for 8-10 minutes, until set at edges and just barely set at center when lightly touched. Cool on cookie sheet for 1 minute, then transfer to a cooling rack with a spatula to cool completely.
