Pumpkin Spice Blossoms

I found this on a great recipe blog, http://www.picky-palate.com/
I haven't tried it, but they sound really good. I think you could use a regular chocolate kiss if you can't find the pumpkin flavor. Yum!

Pumpkin Spice Blossoms
1 Spice Cake Mix 18.25 oz
14 oz can Libby’s Pumpkin
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

Update:

I tried this recipe and I made a few modifications. The cookies turned out good and everyone thought they were yummy. I used regular sugar instead of the sanding sugar and chocolate kisses instead of pumpkin flavor. I thought the dough was too sticky to handle and roll in the sugar, so I just sprinkled some on the top of the dough after it was on the cookie sheet. I used a greased cookie sheet instead of the parchment paper.
