Tips and tricks for these easy pumpkin cookies: 

Can I use pumpkin pie filling:

For some pumpkin recipes, you might be able to use pumpkin pie filling, however, with this recipe you will want to use just the regular canned pumpkin puree. That way you won’t have your perfect fall treat overloaded with too many spices.

Chips to use for these healthy pumpkin cookies:

• White chocolate chips
• Dark chocolate chips
• Cinnamon chips
• Semi-sweet chocolate chips

What type of boxed cake mix to use:

For the best Fall flavor, I enjoy using the spiced cake mix, however, you could switch it out with yellow cake mix but then you will have to add some cloves and cinnamon or your favorite pumpkin spice flavors to the box of cake mix with you mix it with the pure pumpkin puree.
