Happy Monday! It’s Columbus Day AND National Dessert Day so let’s celebrate with something sweet!

I was experimenting in the kitchen last night after dinner because my sweet tooth was raging. I have seen these easy 2-3 ingredient recipes all over Pinterest, so I had to give it a shot!

Easy Pumpkin Spice & Chocolate Chip Cookies

Ingredients:

• 1 box Spice Cake Mix
• 1 Can of Pumpkin
• 3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (not pictured)

Combined the pumpkin and the spice cake mix in a large mixing bowl.

Mix it well – it’s a little tough to get fully combined! Next add your chocolate chips. And that’s it! Now you’re ready to drop the dough onto lightly greased baking sheets. Be careful. It’s sticky stuff!

You will end up having to lick a lot off your fingers, but since this recipe is egg-free, you could eat the whole bowl uncooked if you wanted!

Bake the cookies at 350 degrees for around 12 minutes. The cookies will remain fairly soft and will poof up nicely thanks to the cake mix.

And voila! How much easier can it get??

This recipe made around 2 dozen cookies plus a few extra, depending on how much of the dough you snack on. I had to eat at least 3 of them straight out of the oven because they were so amazing!

They look like pumpkiny-puffs and are a mix between a cake and a cookie in texture. The pumpkin keeps them from getting too stiff, so they are also very moist.

And if you’re lucky like me, they will cause any tiny dog in your house to cry incessantly for at least 20 minutes.

So celebrate National Dessert Day today by making these easy-peasy little treats. My coworkers lucked out, and I brought in most of these to share. Nick and I don’t need to eat 24 cookies on our own, that’s for sure!

Happy baking!
