What ingredients do I need to make these Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies?
- Pillsbury Sugar Free Yellow Cake Mix-Don’t add any ingredients called for on the back of the spice cake mix. You could substitute the sugar free cake mix for Duncan Hines Spice Cake mix, if desired. Point value will vary depending on the brand of cake spice mix you use.
- Pumpkin pie seasoning
- Pumpkin puree -canned pumpkin. Be sure to NOT use pumpkin pie filling.
- Large egg- this is used as a leaving agent and helps makes the cookies less sticky and gives them more of a fluffy texture.
- No sugar added milk chocolate chips– I like to use ChocZero no sugar added milk chocolate chips. You could use dark, semi sweet, or white no added chocolate chips, if you desire.

How do I make these Cake Mix Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies?
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.
Combine the cake mix, pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie seasoning (if using the sugar free cake mix) and large egg.
With a hand mixer or a large mixing spoon, mix until ingredients are combined.
DO NOT OVERMIX-otherwise the cookies will have a gummy like texture!
Fold in 4 oz. of the no sugar added chocolate chips.
Using a medium cookie scoop and a small spoon, scoop out balls of dough and place on the prepared baking sheets.
Note: the batter will be a bit sticky!!
Each ball of dough should be around 2 tablespoons. Spread cookies at least 2 inches apart.
Press the remaining chocolate chips on the tops of each cookie ball.
Bake for 13-15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a cookie comes out clean or with only a few moist crumbs.
Remove from oven. Let cookies cool on the baking pan for about 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack.
Store leftover cookies at room temperature, uncovered.
Avoid using an airtight container; cookies will get a little mushy/soft.
These cookies are best the same day they’re made.
