I grew up cooking from scratch so a few years ago when I learned you can make cookies from cake mix, I was intrigued and tried it out. Every now and then now I will make them. They are quick and easy when you need a quick treat. They are also one of my oldest son’s favorite cookies to make. I discovered a cake mix pumpkin chocolate chip cookie recently and I had to try it out. The simplicity of mixing cake mix and pumpkin and getting a cookie, once again I was intrigued. I will say scratch made pumpkin cookies are still my favorite but these cake mix pumpkin chocolate chip cookies aren’t that shabby themselves.
