Easy Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies
These Easy Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies come together in a flash. This easy-to-make 3 ingredient pumpkin chocolate chip cookie recipe makes the perfect low fat snack or healthier dessert.
I originally posted this Easy Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies recipe in 2008, when I’d only been blogging a few months. At the time, I was craving dessert but wanted one that was lower in calories and fat.
I came across this recipe, one I had saved but never made. The recipe was given to me by a neighbor and it’s slightly adapted from a Weight Watchers recipe.
Easy Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe Notes
These pumpkin cookies are only 92 calories, and it would have been a good choice if I hadn’t eaten so many. All the cookies were gone by the next day and no one seemed to miss the fat. It’s a soft, cakey cookie and I thought they were better tasting the second day. They were more tender and soft.
The pumpkin chocolate chip cookies are made from a boxed cake mix. My grocery store didn’t have a spice cake mix when I remade them to update this post, so I bought and use a carrot cake mix instead. It was a fun addition and you can see the little bits of “carrot” in the cookies.
If you want to make a more traditional pumpkin chocolate chip recipe, I’ve also posted my sister’s favorite Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe. Or go for a really decadent dessert and make Jocelyn’s Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Donuts!

Am I understanding the recipe, you mix the three ingredients together and scoop? That’s it!?
Hi Lori – Yes, just mix and scoop. I updated the recipe. Thanks!
Hehe mum you made me laugh when you said, “The cookies are only 92 calories, and it would have been a good choice if I hadn’t eaten so many.” That’s the sort of thing that I do all the time! 😛 xxx
I wish I could taste one right now! They look delicious.
Cheers,

What other kinds of cake mixes has she used?
My roommates make these all the time. And you can substitute whatever kind of cake mix you want. They are pretty darn good.
