I can’t think about Fall and not think about these cookies for some reason!
I first tasted these when I worked as a producer on a morning talk show in Salt Lake City called “Good Things Utah”. I can’t remember who made them on the show…but I DO remember we all liked them so much we put them in our 1st cookbook! :-)
That was a few years ago and a quick look around the GTU website didn’t bring up the recipe, but thankfully I found the very same recipe here at: Ladybird Ln. (Thanks Carlee!)
Not only are they moist and delicious….with only THREE INGREDIENTS..they are a SNAP to make!
Our Executive Producer George liked them so much he would make batches of them and bring them to our remote shows at the Scrapbooking Expo for the viewers to try! Ahh..good times! Miss you George! :-)

Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies
- Betty Crocker Spice Cake Mix
- 15 oz can pumpkin
- Chocolate Chips (about 1 cup)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix all ingredients together, plop on cookie sheet in heaping tablespoons, bake at 350 for 10-12 minutes until just firm.
I'll send along a "caution" not to use any no-name brand Spice Cake mix. I tried it with a thrifty brand and they were so awful I had to throw them out. Stick with quality!
I wonder if this Lauralee is my sister… I don’t know a lot of Lauralees. :) Is it you, LQS? I just made these cookies, but they were really just cake bites. I guess they’re still warm… maybe they’ll get hard when they cool down? So far… not a fan. :( I like my cookies like my crackers: with a crunch!
Thanks Lauralee! Good advice! :-))
White choc chips or butterscotch would be great too
I'm thinking cinnamon chips would be as good with these as with the cupcake/muffin version. One box spice cake, the large can pumpkin, 1 cup cinnachips, bake in cupcake pan at 350* about 40 mins or so.
I have never made these as a cookie before, but they are wonderful in (greased) mini muffin tins. Mine take about 13-14 minutes and turn out wonderful!
I love pumpkin and I love chocolate! Never have combined the two but it sounds tasty :D I've substituted applesauce and pumpkin puree in baked goods before and love the taste/ texture!
I have been making these cookies for some time now. My sister gave me the recipe. When I make them for a function or to share with friends for the first time, I get rave reviews. I use a small cookie scoop and drop them fairly close together on my baking sheet as they do not spread. I get about 5 dozen that way. LOVE this recipe. (By the way, I do not save this recipe for just the fall season. I make this recipe throughout the year.) Most of the time I use Betty Crocker, but I have also used Duncan Hines with the same great results.
I got this recipe from Weight Watchers. They called them the 1 pt. cookie. They are so good my son would eat them faster than I did and he wasn’t on W.W. For only 1 pt. you can totally feel like you cheated without the guilt!!!
Just tried this only omitted the chocolate chips and used apple butter instead of pumpkin. Delicious and full of flavor.
Question, what do I omit in the cake and put the pumpkin in.?? I love pumpkin cookies and this sounds yummy and easier.
Mary-Ann,
Just follow the recipe exactly as stated above and you’ll be good to go. :-) Just the 3 ingredients. No other ingredients listed on the cake mix box are necessary. Hope this helps!

I have beeen wanting to make these so bad and my store doesn’t always carry spice cake mix but I saw it yesterday so I will make these by the weekend.
I’m trying this tonight with Toll House peanut butter and milk chocolate morsels mix that I got on sale today! Love making the recipes from your site for my husbands potlucks! Many a US Navy service members have come to love your recipes…and most likely had to run a little more often! You are so popular with all the wives on our Navy base!!! Thanks for making the business of being a 2o year Navy Wife easier by always having the best darn recipes around!
As mentioned above, mini muffins are the way to go! Add some cream cheese frosting. Delicious!
I was not a huge of this recipe at all! I didn’t like the taste or texture. I thought I’d try them because they seemed super easy, and they definitely are. Just not as good as I had hoped for.
I have made this recipe for years and find that a yellow cake mix works great if spice is not available. One variation we like is to use a chocolate cake mix and add white chips for a double chocolate cookie. Tastes great and is reminiscent of a brownie bite.
I just made these, they are wonderful! So simple to make too. I didn’t have the cake mix so I just used what I had and added pumpkin spice to it. I don’t think these will last long in my house. Thanks for the great recipe!
I just made these with chocolate chip muffin mix and pumpkin, the kids and I love them. I will be making these for the holidays. I finally found my favorite cookie, I don’t like crunchy cookies, Thanks for the awesome recipe!
I made these for my Bible Study group and they were an instant hit! This has to be one of the easiest recipes ever that turns out tasty. WTG, Jillee! And thank you.
Thanks for this! Can’t resist super easy dessert recipes since I love eating them but not so much making them. I also didn’t have spice cake mix so I used white/yellow cake mix and added 1 tablespoon of cinnamon and 3 teaspoons of allspice/pumpkin spice. Just gotta change your expectations about these being like reg. choc chip cookies as they are moke cakey… Yummy!
OMG I LOVE THE CLEAN PRINT. NEVER SAW THAT BEFORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
