Easy Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies
If you’re looking for a quick and delicious dessert, these pumpkin spiced chocolate chip cookies are your go-to! They only require three ingredients, making them incredibly easy to whip up without compromising on taste.
These cookies are perfect for those times when you need a quick dessert that everyone will love. They’re a hit at gatherings and are so simple to make that it almost feels like cheating. The secret to their soft, cake-like texture is using a spice cake mix, which also adds the perfect amount of spice. The pumpkin keeps the cookies moist, and let’s be honest, chocolate makes everything better.
What You’ll Need:
- Spice Cake Mix: This adds all the spice you need effortlessly.
- Canned Pumpkin: Ensure it’s pure pumpkin, not pumpkin pie filling.
- Chocolate Chips: A must for any pumpkin cookie.
How to Make Them:
- Prep: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and preheat your oven to 350°F.
- Mix: Combine the cake mix and pumpkin in a bowl until smooth. Stir in the chocolate chips.
- Bake: Drop the mixture by rounded tablespoons onto your baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 13-15 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Allow to cool slightly before transferring to a cooling rack.
Pro Tips:
- Feel free to experiment with different types of chocolate chips or add-ins like nuts or raisins for extra texture.
- If you can’t find spice cake mix, any basic cake mix will do. Just add 2 teaspoons of pumpkin spice to achieve that classic fall flavor.
- For lighter cookies, consider adding an egg to the mix, though this will increase your ingredient count.
Storing Your Cookies:
Keep the cookies lightly covered at room temperature for up to 4 days, or refrigerate to extend their freshness up to 8 days. They can also be frozen for up to 3 months.
These cookies are not only a crowd-pleaser but also so easy to make that you’ll find yourself turning to this recipe time and again during the fall season or whenever you’re pressed for time but still want to serve something special.
