I'm sure that you've seen and probably even made this really easy pumpkin cookie recipe; it's been floating around the internet for years. I wanted to share it with you today, not because it's new, but because it's awesome. And with my tips and tricks, it's even better. What's my secret?! An EGG! The addition of one egg makes all the difference. That and not under-baking the cookies. Those two things are the secrets to these simple cookies. The egg acts as a leavening agent and helps to make the cookies less gummy. Cooking them a full 12 minutes also helps them to not be gummy and sticky either. Nothing too new or exciting but a few little things can make a big difference when it comes to a recipe with a super short ingredient list.

Ingredients

1 cup Chocolate chips
1 Large egg
15 oz. Pumpkin puree
1 box Spice cake mix, dry

Method

01

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment or a baking mat.
02

In a medium mixing bowl add the dry cake mix (but none of the other ingredients called for on the box), 1 can pumpkin puree, and one egg.
03

Mix to combine well. Add the chocolate chips and stir to combine.
04

Using a cookie scoop, place a large tablespoon of dough on your cookie sheet 2 inches apart. They don’t spread much so you can get them closer than other cookies.
05

Bake for 12 minutes until they spring back slightly when touched and no longer look shiny.
06

Let cool on the pan for 3 minutes before placing cookies on a wire rack to finish cooling.
07

Repeat baking instructions with remaining dough.
08

Best stored lightly covered at room temperature (if stored in an air-tight container they get sticky on the outside).
