Pumpkin Spice Cookies Made with 3 ingredients

Yes, you read that right, Pumpkin Spice cookies made with 3 ingredients! These are some of my favorite fall cookies (and my kids' favorite all time cookies) and they are SUPER easy to make.  All you need are these 3 ingredients:

 
1 (18.25 ounce) package spice cake mix

1 (15 ounce) can solid pack pumpkin (not pumpkin pie mix)

1 C chocolate chips (milk chocolate or semi-sweet, what ever you prefer)

OR you can skip the chocolate chips all together and frost the baked and cooled cookie with cream cheese frosting.

My picture is a little deceiving, I used a 29oz can of pumpkin and doubled my recipe, because apparently you can never find a small can of pumpkin in our small town. (well, that and the cookies disappear so fast that doubling the recipe is NEVER a bad thing at our house)

You literally just dump the ingredients into your mixer and mix until it is combined.  I usually start with the cake mix and the pumpkin, mix until all the cake mix is wet, then stir in the chocolate chips.

 
With most cookies you don't grease the cookie sheet because they already have a lot of fat in them (butter, shortnening, etc.) but since these cookies do not have any added fat you NEED to grease your cookie sheet, don't forget to!!  Drop by rounded tablespoons onto your greased cookie sheet, and bake at 350 degrees for 18-20 minutes.  The cookies don't spread a lot, and you want them to be soft, you can check to see if they are done by poking them with a tooth pick if you are not sure.


Here is the finished product:

I will have to try these. I have a pumpkin cookie recipe but it has a million ingredients, yours looks a lot easier.

Made these for Scouts and they were a huge success- and then realized- my co-Den Leader made the exact same cookies for last week's activity. Go figure :)
