These easy pumpkin cookies start with a box of spice cake mix (or yellow cake mix plus pumpkin spice) and canned pumpkin puree. Stir in chocolate chips, scoop onto a lined baking sheet, and bake at 350°F for 13–15 minutes. Let cool on the pan for 4 minutes before transferring to a rack.

Directions

Set your oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

In a large bowl, stir together the cake mix and pumpkin puree until smooth. If you're using yellow cake mix, add 1 tablespoon of pumpkin pie spice before mixing. Then fold in 1 cup of chocolate chips.

Using a large cookie scoop or two tablespoons, drop dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 13 to 15 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Take the cookies out of the oven and let them rest on the pan for 4 minutes, then move them to a wire rack to cool completely.
