I first tasted these when I worked as a producer on a morning talk show in Salt Lake City called "Good Things Utah". I can't remember who made them on the show...but I DO remember we all liked them so much we put them in our 1st cookbook! :-)
That was a few years ago and a quick look around the GTU website didn't bring up the recipe, but thankfully I found the very same recipe here at: Ladybird Ln. (Thanks Carlee!)
Not only are they moist and delicious....with only THREE INGREDIENTS..they are a SNAP to make!
Our Executive Producer George liked them so much he would make batches of them and bring them to our remote shows at the Scrapbooking Expo for the viewers to try! Ahh..good times! Miss you George! :-)

- Betty Crocker Spice Cake Mix
- 15 oz can pumpkin
- Chocolate Chips (about 1 cup)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix all ingredients together, plop on cookie sheet in heaping tablespoons, bake at 350 for 10-12 minutes until just firm.
Funny thing is I'm not usually a fan of pumpkin and chocolate together...but there is something about these cookies that my taste buds make an exception for.
Go on....give them a try. You probably have everything you need for them in your pantry already. :-)
Oh man....now I'm HUNGRY!!!
My recipe is similar, but makes a big batch!
ReplyDeleteI'll send along a "caution" not to use any no-name brand Spice Cake mix. I tried it with a thrifty brand and they were so awful I had to throw them out. Stick with quality!
ReplyDeleteThanks Lauralee! Good advice! :-))
ReplyDeleteWhite choc chips or butterscotch would be great too
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking cinnamon chips would be as good with these as with the cupcake/muffin version. One box spice cake, the large can pumpkin, 1 cup cinnachips, bake in cupcake pan at 350* about 40 mins or so.
ReplyDeleteMust make these...TODAY!!!!
ReplyDeleteDumb question but do you have to add to the spice cake the things requested? (eggs? oil?) or just throw the pumpkin in with the the dry cake mix and go? Looks yummy!! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteOnly 5 days after my first post and I've already made a 2nd batch of these for the family. My daughter absolutey loves them. She did, however, request that I leave out the chocolate chips in the 2nd batch...she's not a fan of chocolate. So simple!
ReplyDeleteI have never made these as a cookie before, but they are wonderful in (greased) mini muffin tins. Mine take about 13-14 minutes and turn out wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI love pumpkin and I love chocolate! Never have combined the two but it sounds tasty :D I've substituted applesauce and pumpkin puree in baked goods before and love the taste/ texture!
