Step-by-Step Directions

Step 1: Combine the Ingredients

• This mixture comes together fast and very easily.
• You don't need to use a mixer at all. Just a wooden spoon. My favorite wooden spoons are bamboo wooden spoons. They don't stain at all and wash perfectly in the dishwasher. 

Step 2 | Add the Eggs

• Combine the egg, with the cake mix and pumpkin puree. 

Step 3 | Add the Pumpkin Pie Spice

• Stir in the pumpkin pie spice. It's really okay if you don't want to add this. I just love the added taste of pumpkin pie spice. 

Step 4 | Add the Chocolate Chips

• Gently fold in the chocolate chips. I used a cup of regular sized semi-sweet chocolate chips.
• You can definitely substitute mini chocolate chips if you prefer. 

Step 5 | Baking Instructions

• Line a baking tray with parchment paper and yes, you know by now how much I love these Parchment Baking Sheets.
• Use a cookie scoop to make sure all the cookies are uniform in size and bake evenly. 

• Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 12 to 15 minutes. Do not under-bake them as the cookies will be gummy. Test the cookies by sticking a toothpick into the center of a cookie and if it comes out clean or with only a few moist crumbs, they are done. 
• The cookies puff up nicely as they bake. They also don't spread much, but I never like to crowd my baking trays. 

Step 6 | Cooling Tips

• Let the cookies cool for a few minutes on the baking tray and then remove to a cooling rack before enjoying with a cup of cold milk! 

How to Store Pumpkin Cookies

• Store the pumpkin cake mix cookies in an air-tight container. They should remain fresh for up to one week. 
• You can also freeze the cookies by flash freezing them first on a baking tray in the freezer for 30 minutes. Once the cookies are frozen solid, remove them from the tray and place in freezer-safe containers. 
• The cookies should stay fresh in the freezer for up to 6 weeks.
