Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 1 (15-ounce) can pumpkin puree
- 1 (15.25-ounce) box spice cake mix
- 1 cup milk chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking and for easy cleanup.
- Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the entire 15-ounce can of pumpkin puree with the full 15.25-ounce box of spice cake mix. Stir well until the mixture is fully blended and smooth. Then fold in 1 cup of milk chocolate chips evenly throughout the batter.
- Scoop Cookies: Using a medium cookie scoop or tablespoon (approximately 2 ½ tablespoons per cookie), drop the dough onto the prepared baking sheets. Leave about 2 inches of space between each cookie to allow for spreading during baking.
- Bake Cookies: Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake for 13 to 15 minutes. The cookies are done when the edges are set and start to turn golden brown.
- Cool Cookies: Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a cooling rack to cool completely before serving.
Notes
- For added texture, consider mixing in chopped nuts such as walnuts or pecans.
- Use dark or semi-sweet chocolate chips as an alternative to milk chocolate chips for a richer flavor.
- Ensure pumpkin puree is 100% pure pumpkin, not pie filling, which contains added sugars and spices.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
