How to undo your workout/diet in 10 easy steps

1. Buy a spice cake mix, a 15 oz container of canned pumpkin (not pumpkin pie filling), and a bag of chocolate chips.
2. Turn your oven to 350 degrees.
3.Mix spice cake mix, pumpkin and 1 generous cup of chocolate chips until well blended and all sorts of delicious smelling (note: you don't need eggs, oil, anything--just the dry cake mix, the pumpkin and the chocolate chips)
4. Drop by rounded tablespoon onto a cookie sheet.
5. Bake 16-18 minutes.
6. Anxiously wait for them to cool. Seriously, calm down--they'll cool.
7. Grab the biggest cookie, shove in mouth.
8. Smile.
9. Repeat steps 7 and 8.
10. And, thus, your diet and or workout have been undone.

You're welcome.

Holy mother of yumminess, these are seriously the easiest and freaking yummiest cookies I have ever made--and I don't even really like pumpkin. They are the perfect fall cookie. And would be very festive at Thanksgiving.

And now I can't stop thinking about them.

Sadly, I'm on a break from all things pumpkin after an unfortunate timing incident - ate a pumpkin scone a few hours before my stomach bug hit and now I'm wary. :( But they sound yummy!

Ok, this is probably ridiculous, but, am confused on the directions... did you make the cake according to mix (adding in oil, eggs, water) and then add in the pumpkin and chocolate chips to the batter or did you just mix up dry mix with pumpkin and chocolate chips?

The cookies sound amazing - you are clearly a culinary genius :)

I actually use this same recipe, w/o chocolate chips / adding walnuts, for diet-friendly pumpkin bread at Thanksgiving! So fear not! They're not THAT bad for you ;)
