Preheat your oven to 350°. Line cookie sheets with siicone or parchment paper, or spray with cooking spray.
In a large bowl, combine the dry cake mix, pumpkin pie spice, pumpkin puree, milk, and chocolate chips in a large bowl. Gently stir together. (I like to reserve about 1/2 cup of the chips for the tops of the cookies.)
Use a small cookie scoop to drop cookie dough by tablespoons onto a prepared baking sheet. Bake at 350° for 13-15 minutes, or until set in the middle.
Immediately press a few of the extra chocolate chips into the tops of the cookies.
Let sit on the pan for 3-4 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
I've also used 1 15.25 oz box of cake mix. I usually add an additional tablespoon of milk.
These soft pumpkin cookies will last for up to a week at room temperature in an airtight container.
