Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 box spice cake mix (dry mix only)
  • 1 (15 oz.) can pumpkin purée
  • 1 cup chocolate chips

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the dry cake mix, pumpkin purée, and chocolate chips. Mix until everything is fully blended.
  3. Use a cookie scoop to portion the dough onto a greased or parchment-lined baking sheet. For a muffin-like texture, leave the scoops as rounded balls. For a flatter, more cookie-like shape, gently press down the tops with the back of a spoon.
  4. Bake for 12–15 minutes, depending on your preference: Just until set for a soft, muffin-like consistency, longer for a slightly crisp edge with a tender center.

Notes

  • Don’t prepare the cake mix, just use it dry straight from the box.
  • For best texture, let cookies cool completely and sit out for a while before storing. If stored too quickly, they can get a little soft.
