Chocolate pumpkin cookies -only 3 ingredients to make! So easy and yummy!
Do you ever have those day where you just want to hide in the closet with some chocolate?! Saturday was one of those days. My husband was working late, the kids were destroying everything in site, deadlines were approaching and the stress was rising. I decided once the kids were in bed I was just going to relax! That’s what Saturday nights are for right?! ;)
I spotted these pumpkin kisses at Target earlier that day and decided to bake up these yummy chocolate pumpkin cookies. I wanted something easy and fast and these hit the spot just right! So so good! I turned on some good ol’ Friday night lights, sat down on the couch and it felt SO good to just relax. I think sometimes I forget that it is good to just have no plans. Suddenly my day was softened while I was all snuggled up on the couch with a warm blanket and cookie.
Now I have to say you are either going to LOVE or hate these pumpkin spice hershey kisses… so you can make these cookies with or without the kisses. I absolutely LOVE them with the pumpkin kisses, but my husband preferred the cookies without them. You can also turn this recipe into muffins too, which is really yummy.

That’s it! Can it get any easier? Theses chocolate pumpkin cookies are perfect for the “non-baker.” ;) Here’s what they look like as muffins. Note: You will need to bake the muffins for about 20-30 minutes. I found those cute baking cups here.
Yummy both ways! With one batch you can get about 24 cookies or 12 muffins. Feel free to double it!
Make some of these bad boys! You deserve a treat!
I’m curious…how do you relax after a long day?

No questions, thanks Bethany!
I hope that this is not a silly question but I am unsure as to whether you make the cake mix up per the instructions or do you just add the dry ingredients and the pumpkin together.
Just the dry ingredients and the pumpkin! :)
I just made these using a Spice cake mix. And when I added the pumpkin kiss I let it set a bit…pushed it down to melt and added a cinnamon chip to the center. They were delicious.
Mmmm sounds delicious Judy! :)
Do you add the cake mix ingredients to?
Nope, just the cake mix! :)
