Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Canned pumpkin puree
- 1 box (approximately 15.25 oz) Boxed spice cake mix
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 1 cup Chocolate chips (optional)
- 0.25 cup Powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the canned pumpkin puree and the boxed spice cake mix. Stir together until fully combined and a thick, batter-like consistency forms.
Add the ground cinnamon and ground nutmeg to the batter, and mix until evenly incorporated.
If desired, fold in the chocolate chips for an extra indulgent touch.
Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets. Leave about 2 inches of space between each cookie.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 14 minutes, or until the cookies are set and slightly puffed. Avoid overbaking to keep them soft and moist.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
If desired, lightly dust the cooled cookies with powdered sugar before serving.
Enjoy your unbelievably easy pumpkin spice cookies alongside a cup of coffee or tea!
