Ingredients

  • 1 box spice cake mix 15.25 ounces
  • 1 whole can canned pumpkin puree 15 ounces
  • 1 cup chocolate chips semi-sweet or milk chocolate

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the spice cake mix and the entire can of pumpkin puree. Stir until well combined and a dough forms. The dough will be thick and slightly sticky.
  3. Gently fold the chocolate chips until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  4. Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded 2 Tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  5. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes or until the cookies are set and lightly golden around the edges.
  6. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Do not skip the parchment paper or silicone baking mat. These cookies will stick to your cookie sheet without it.
  • Do not try to roll the dough, it will be too sticky. Simply drop two tablespoons on the prepared baking sheet, and if desired, use your finger to tap the dough into a more rounded shape. 
  • While chocolate chips are a classic choice, feel free to get creative with your add-ins. Try using different types of chips (like white chocolate or butterscotch), chopped nuts, or dried cranberries for a fun twist.
  • Let the cookies cool before taking them off the baking sheet. This will help them set up so they don't fall apart when you pick them up.
  • The spice cake mix goes perfectly with pumpkin. But if you prefer, try using yellow, white, or even chocolate cake mix for a different twist. Keep in mind that the flavor profile of your cookies will change depending on the cake mix you use.
