I have a fever. Fall fever! I have, out of nowhere, become incredibly trunky for fall to get here. Fall is my favorite time of year. I love the colors, the cool air, the sweaters, the boots, Halloween…it’s all just wonderful. Not to mention I’ll be turning 28 this fall! Where does the time go? (Speaking of birthdays…Cupcake Diaries is turning 2 in about two weeks and I’ve got a whole week of awesome giveaways planned! Stay tuned!)
Because of this crazy fall fever I have, I wanted to share a recipe for a delicious fall goody that seems to be incredibly popular during the fall. And these cookies really are so easy. It’s…well, scary. Let’s be honest. When it comes to baking, I prefer to make treats from scratch and not from a mix. However, cake mixes are a little different for me. I really like the taste of some boxed cake mixes and love to create all kinds of yummy treats with them. And this case is no different! You’ll want to try these cookies, even if you are hesitant to use a cake mix. Once you’re done baking these, you’ll be so glad you did and wonder how you’re ever going to go back to your scratch recipe of these cookies. I love making these from scratch, but this recipe is just too scary easy to pass up!
Scary Easy Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies
Instructables
- 1 (15 oz) can of pumpkin
- 1 cake mix, either spice cake or carrot cake
- 1 (12 oz) bag chocolate chips
Using a mixer or spoon, mix together the pumpkin and cake mix in a large bowl. Make sure the cake mix is nice and blended in with the pumpkin. Stir in the chocolate chips with a spoon. You can use as many as you prefer, but who wouldn’t want the whole bag dumped in there?
Time to bake these babies! Drop the dough onto a greased cookie sheet or a cookie sheet covered in parchment paper. The original recipe calls for 2 Tbsp of dough per cookie. This dough doesn’t really spread out like most cookies when baked and it tends to retain shape. As you drop the dough, shape it a little in the form you’d like your cookies. You can get all kinds of creative with this!
Bake for 20-25 minutes at 350 degrees. Bigger cookies may take a little longer. Allow to sit on the cookie sheet for a couple of minutes before moving to a cooling rack. Enjoy!! Aren’t these cookies scary easy?
