Easy Non-Dairy Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies

Did I just find yet another recipe on Pinterest that my family loves? 
Why, yes! I did!
Seriously, Pinterest is the best thing for Mom's since someone decided to invent earplugs.

I found this recipe on The Knotty Knitters Blog. I'm not sure who actually created it though.

So this super easy recipe is great for when you are short on time and need a fall treat for your kid's class, or to take to a work party, or any occasion really! Want to know why? There are only 3 ingredients! Doesn't get any easier than that.

So here's what you'll need:
1 oz can of Pumpkin
1 box Duncan Hines Spice Cake Mix
and
1 bag your favorite Non-Dairy Chocolate Chips
(I like Ghirardelli Semi-Sweet)
*optional* I added an extra tsp of cinnamon because I just love me some cinnamon :)


You just mix all the ingredients together in a big mixing bowl (you do not need the ingredients that the cake mix calls for, only the 3 listed above) and scoop them out into small mounds (about 1 tbsp each, a cookie scoop would be best) onto a parchment paper lined cookie sheet.


Cook them at 375 for 8-10 minutes. Cool on a wire rack. Enjoy!


Seriously, that's it. Start to finish, less than an hour.

This recipe yielded appx 36 cookies when I used my cookie scoop. According to my calculations that's 105 calories per cookie. A little much for my dietary plan, but it's nice to indulge every once in a while.
