My 12 year old daughter brought this recipe for pumpkin drop cookies home from a party the other day and insisted that we had to make them. I was a little hesitant to try. Only 3 ingredients…really? They turned out delicious and I love that they are low-fat and packed with vitamins from the pumpkin! Thank you MaKell for sharing this recipe with us!

You can also make these as muffins! They’re delicious! (And the pumpkin goes well with other cake mixes too!) I think they’re even part of the Weight Watches recipes.
I can see how you’d b hesitant but these look pretty tasty. I might just give this a whirl. I’ve been craving pumpkin.

I made these yesterday. I used 1/2 the batter for cookies and 1/2 for cupcakes. They were Yummy!
I got this recipe from a friend last year and promptly made them SEVERAL times. I love them and my kids do too. We’ve already made them once this Fall and I’m sure will make them at least a couple more times … You can’t go wrong.
Do you prepare the spice cake mix? Or just mix the powder & the pure?
It is just the dry cake mix- unprepared.
Just made them, pretty darn good!! Thanks for putting the recipe online!
Um Amazing! I just pointed my Mom to this website/recipe. I made a batch on Sunday and by Wednesday my husband and I and almost completely finished them off. He asked me why I hadn’t made more.
I’ll be adding this to my list of favorites too! Thanks so much for sharing!!!
These are so good, thank you!!
I’ve made these as mini muffins w/o the choco chips: yellow cake mix/pumpkin, spice cake mix/pumpkin. They are soooo good the next few days. Quick grab-n-go breakfast or snack. Once I added a couple of packages of instant oatmeal (maple/brown sugar flavored). Gave it a little more texture and flavor. Now I will have to try w/ the chips! Woohoo!!
How long do you bake the mini muffins,and at what temperature?
In the oven now! Do they flatten out like regular chocolate chip cookies?
No.. They stay puffy like in the picture
Just made these. How freakin easy was this!!! Have to stock up on the pumpkin before it is gone for the season!
My only regret is that I didn’t double the recipe the first time I made them!! They are awesome and SO SIMPLE! I’ll have to head back to the store to make some more
I did not care for these cookies. I think I expected something a little crispier. They were easy to make but not something I will make again.
can I add walnuts to recipe
I don’t see why not. They are pretty soft cookies though and I don’t know how walnuts would taste in them.
I made these for Thanksgiving… They were a hit!!! I love how quick and easy they are to make with just 3 ingredients. I definitely plan to make them again… Maybe try a different cake mix.
These are REALLY good with white chocolate chips, too
Got this recipie for the muffins at a health fair two years ago. You can use either spice or devils food chocolate cake mix with the pumpkin puree and 2/3 cup water. Great as muffins or as a 15×10 sheet cake with powdered sugar instead of frosting. So easy, healthy, and the first muffin or dessert to run out. The chocolate is delish also!
