Easiest Pumpkin Cookies
When the leaves start to change colors, it’s time for all the fall flavors like comfort soups, warm drinks, and everything pumpkin. Cake Mix Pumpkin Cookies are the easiest dessert to enjoy all autumn long. Only 3 ingredients are needed- pumpkin, cake mix, and chocolate chip cookies. Just mix, scoop, and bake! 20 minutes later and you’ll be devouring these sweet soft treats.
Ingredients
- Pumpkin Puree– Pumpkin is the main ingredient that gives it texture and flavor. Be sure to use just pumpkin puree and not pumpkin pie mix.
- Spice Cake Mix– This cake mix has the best flavor and the perfect amount of sweetness and spice.
- Chocolate Chips– this could be optional but everything is better with chocolate!
How to Make It
These cookies are so simple to make. All you have to do is:
- Dump pumpkin puree, spice cake mix, and chocolate chips into a large bowl.
- Mix it all together until well combined and there are chocolate chips throughout. The dough will be really sticky.
- Scoop onto a lined cookie sheet. The cookies don’t change their shape or spread much when baking and they will bake up round and fluffy. I like my cookies a little flatter so I pushed them down slightly with my hand. The dough is really sticky so this can get a little tricky.
- Bake on a lined baking sheet for 12-15 minutes or until cooked through.
- Enjoy!

Loved these cookies. I’m not sure they’re correctly called cookies though. They’re more like luscious small cakes. I used mini chocolate chips in my batter so they were throughout each cookie. I will definitely be making these all year round.
One tip/trick, I used a small piece if parchment paper to press each cookie down instead of my hand then doubled the paper back, gently sliding the paper off. Don’t pull up or it doesn’t work after the 1st couple of cookies.
Great tip!
Not only are these great tasting, they’re so easy to make. My grandsons and I make these often. NOTE: to flatten the cookies before baking, use a small piece of parchment paper to press the cookie then gently pull the parchment paper to the side. Don’t pull the paper upward.
Love this tip!
