⭐Why Pumpkin Cookies With Spice Cake Mix Are Awesome

• Easy to make since it uses a boxed cake mix like our Candy Corn Cookies.
• Pumpkin spice cake mix cookies use just 4 ingredients!
• Under 30 minutes from start to finish!

🥣Ingredient Notes

• Spice cake mix - The fall spices pair perfectly with the pumpkin.
• Canned pumpkin - 15 oz can. This is not the same as pumpkin pie filling.
• Chocolate chips - For added sweetness and texture. You can use semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips.
• Pumpkin pie spice - Adds a delightful warm flavor to these cookies.

📋How to Make Pumpkin Cake Mix Cookies

STEP 1: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

STEP 2: Pour the box of spice cake mix into a large bowl and add the pumpkin pie spice. If you don't have pumpkin pie spice you can make your own by following the recipe in tips below.

STEP 3: Next, add the can of pumpkin puree to the bowl.

STEP 4: Stir to combine until all the cake mix has been blended.

STEP 5: Now it's time to add the chocolate chips. I used milk chocolate chips, but semi-sweet would work as well.

STEP 6: Stir to incorporate the chocolate chips into the cookie dough.

STEP 7: Line a cookie sheet or baking sheet with parchment paper or you can also use a silicone baking mat. Scoop rounded tablespoons of the dough onto the cookie sheet. You can also use a small cookie scoop and scoop spoonfuls of the dough onto the pan.

STEP 8: Now it is time to flatten the cookies a bit. The cookies on the baking pan will be sticky, so spray the bottom of a glass with cooking spray and use it to press the dough down in the pan.

STEP 9: Bake for 15-18 minutes in a 350-degree oven. Cook time on ovens varies so keep an eye on them at the 15-minute mark.

STEP 10: When the cookies come out of the oven, leave them on the cookie sheet for 5 minutes so they can firm up a bit. Then transfer the cookies to a cooling rack.

This 4 ingredient pumpkin cookies recipe gets its delicious flavor from pumpkin spice cake mix.
