Description

These 3 ingredient pumpkin cookies with spice cake mix are a tasty treat for fall and Thanksgiving!


Ingredients

Units
  • Pumpkin Puree: 14 oz can
  • Boxed Spice Cake Mix: 1 box
  • Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips: 1 cup

Instructions

  1. Prepare: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit, and prepare two cookie sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Make the cookies: Add the pumpkin puree and cake mix to a large bowl, mixing with a rubber spatula or large spoon until well combined and then fold in the chocolate chips.
  3. Bake the cookies: Using a cookie scoop, scoop 2 heaping tablespoons of cookie dough per cookie and place them 1 inch apart on the baking sheets. Press in a few more chocolate chips into the tops of each cookie if you like them extra chocolatey. Bake for 13-15 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

Notes

The texture is not what you'd expect. The texture of these cookies is quite different from a regular cookie texture. These are soft, fluffy, and have a very cake-like texture. They remind me of this pumpkin muffin with cake mix recipe, but in a cookie shape.

Use a cookie scoop. I don't always use a cookie scoop for baking cookies, but with this recipe, I do because this cookie batter is super sticky and hard to shape with your hands, so a cookie scoop is incredibly helpful for this recipe.

Keep them from getting sticky. Store these in a container wrapped in plastic wrap or tinfoil (not a secured lid) with a few holes poked into it to avoid the cookies getting wet and sticky.

Don't overwork the batter. You don't need an electric hand mixer to make these cookies; a simple rubber spatula or spoon will do the trick, and you'll want to mix the batter just until it's incorporated to keep these cookies extra fluffy and soft.

Add more chocolate chips. Before baking, top each cookie with a few extra chocolate chips to make them extra chocolaty and appealing.
