3-Ingredient Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies
Truly the best pumpkin chocolate chip cookies you’ll ever taste and all you need to make them is a box of cake mix, pumpkin puree, and chocolate chips!

Cake Mix Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies
If you love chocolate chip pumpkin cookies, I have the best new recipe for you and it is only 3 ingredients!
They are thick and fluffy and bake up almost like muffin tops. Made with real pumpkin, a box of cake mix, and chocolate chips – they are the perfect pumpkin spice cookie and couldn’t be easier to bake!
I am obsessed with these cookies!!
This week my mother-in-law asked me to grab her a box of pumpkin chocolate chip muffin tops from the local bakery. A box of 6 was over $7 so I said no way, I can make these at home!
I already have a recipe for 2-ingredient pumpkin cake mix cookies, so I thought we could use that and add a bunch of chocolate chips, and they’d probably taste better than the store-bought kind. And yes, they were! The whole batch was almost gone in a day!
These are big, thick, fluffy, bakery style cookies and they are sure to be a new favorite in our fall cookie rotation now!

Prep Tips
- Yield – Using about 2 Tablespoons of dough per cookie, we got a baker’s dozen (13 cookies). These are big cookies and they spread out a tad during cooking, so you will want to bake in batches. We did 4-5 cookies per batch.
- Pumpkin – For this recipe you will want to use 100% real pumpkin puree, NOT pumpkin pie filling, which has added sweeteners and spices.
- Let the batter stand – After you mix up the cookie batter, let it sit in the mixing bowl for about 5 minutes. This allows the cake mix to absorb moisture, so when the cookies bake they are not gooey in the middle. It also gives the gluten a chance to relax, which prevents the cookies from being to tough or spreading out too much in the oven. This simple step creates the most fluffy, flavorful cookies – it really does make a difference!
