Equipment

  • Cookie Sheet
  • 1 Parchment Paper
  • 1 Large mixing bowl
  • 1 Hand mixer or stand mixer
  • 1 Wire rack for cooling
  • 1 Air-tight container for freezing only
  • 1 Cookie scoop

Ingredients

  • 1 box 15.25 oz spice cake mix
  • 1 can 15 oz pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup chocolate chips optional

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
  • Add the cake mix, pumpkin puree, and egg to a large bowl. Mix until smooth, with no dry streaks.
  • Fold in the chocolate chips by hand, if using.
  • Scoop the dough with a medium cookie scoop onto the prepared sheet, 2 inches apart.
  • Bake 12 to 15 minutes, until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick in the center comes out clean.
  • Cool on a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Do not use pumpkin pie filling.
  • No spice cake mix? Use yellow or white cake mix plus 1 to 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice.
  • Do not underbake. The centers turn gummy as they cool.
