Are you a fan of pumpkin? Pumpkin spice? Pumpkin pie? Or no way?! Well, I like pumpkin spice creamer and pumpkin spice Cheerios. So, I decided to try two ways to make a pumpkin spice chocolate chip cookie. The first way was a strictly homemade recipe by The Preppy Kitchen and the second was a recipe using spice box cake mix. It was only 3 ingredients.

And the second way, a box of spice cake mix, one can of pumpkin (NOT PUMPKIN PIE FILLING) and you add the chocolate chips. Some people added an egg but that is not necessary. So, what was the results? The verdict on which one I like the best?

Both of these were soft baked cookies and gave that gooey-ness many enjoy. Surprisingly, I liked the cake box one. I liked it better because it had more flavor. I think with the first recipe, I should have followed my first mind and added the pumpkin pie spice along with the other spices he used. The pumpkin flavor or simply pumpkin and the other spices gave it the orange color (which I like) but not the taste I want in a pumpkin chocolate chip cookie.
