These easy pumpkin cake mix cookies are soft, fluffy, and full of fall flavor. Made with only a few simple ingredients, they are perfect for beginner bakers, holiday baking, classroom cooking, and quick family desserts.
Ingredients
1 box spice cake mix
1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree
1 cup chocolate chips
Directions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large bowl, stir together the spice cake mix and pumpkin puree until smooth and well combined. Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly mixed. Drop spoonfuls of dough, about 2 tablespoons each, onto a prepared baking sheet. Because this dough does not spread like traditional cookie dough, gently shape the cookies before baking if desired. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until the cookies are set and lightly golden around the edges. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for several minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Yield: About 18 to 24 cookies depending on size.
Kid Cooking Tip
Kids can mix the dough, stir in chocolate chips, scoop the cookies, and shape them before baking.
Variation Ideas
Try white chocolate chips, chopped pecans, raisins, caramel chips, cinnamon chips, or a cream cheese drizzle.
Serving Ideas
Serve warm with milk, add to holiday dessert trays, pack into lunchboxes, or freeze extras for later treats.
Easy Fall Baking Idea: These cookies only use a few ingredients, making them perfect for beginner bakers and busy holiday baking days.
