Ingredients

  • 1 15.25 oz box spice cake mix
  • ¾ cup pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
  • 1 large egg
  • ¼ cup vegetable oil
  • ½ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar optional for rolling
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon optional for rolling

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, mix together cake mix, pumpkin puree, egg, oil, and pumpkin pie spice until just combined. Dough will be very sticky. Fold in white chocolate chips.
  • Freeze the dough 10-15 minutes so it can firm up a bit and will be easier to handle.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. If using, stir together sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl.
  • Scoop about 2 tablespoon of dough out at a time (I like to use a #40 cookie scoop) and drop directly into the cinnamon sugar mixture if using. Roll to coat.
  • Place dough on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 11-13 minutes, until set at the edges. Cool cookies for a few minutes before moving to a baking rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for 3-4 days.
  • If you have a 13.25 oz box of cake mix, use ⅔ cup pumpkin puree. This will make about 18 cookies.
  • If you have yellow cake mix instead of spice cake mix, swap the ½ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice for 1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon and 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice.
