\ud83d\udc69\u200d\ud83c\udf3e Step-by-Step 3-Ingredient Pumpkin Cookie Masterclass<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u200bFollow this simple 4-stage recipe guide to mix your 3-ingredient cookie dough, scoop rounded portions, bake soft-baked rounds, and serve warm chocolate treats, exactly as featured in the visual recipe workflow \ud83c\udf83\u2728!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u200bStep 1: Prep Ingredients & Oven Setup \ud83d\udee0\ufe0f\ud83d\udd25<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  1. \u200bPreheat your oven to 350\u00b0F (175\u00b0C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper (as shown in the top-right layout).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. \u200bGather your three core ingredients: one 15.25 oz box of Spice Cake Mix, one 15 oz can of 100% Pure Pumpkin puree, and one bag of semi-sweet chocolate chips (as shown in the central ingredient graphic).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. \u200bKitchen Tip:<\/em> Ensure you select pure canned pumpkin puree and NOT pumpkin pie mix, which contains added liquids and spices that alter dough consistency!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    \u200bStep 2: Mix Cake Mix, Pumpkin Puree & Chocolate Chips \ud83e\udd63\ud83c\udf6b<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    1. \u200bOpen the box of spice cake mix and can of pure pumpkin puree, transferring both directly into a large stainless steel mixing bowl (as illustrated in the top-left image).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. \u200bStir ingredients together using a silicone rubber spatula or wooden spoon for 2 minutes until dry flour completely absorbs into the pumpkin.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    3. \u200bThe resulting dough will be thick, sticky, and rich orange in color.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    4. \u200bPour in 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips and gently fold them throughout the cookie dough until evenly distributed.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    5. \u200bChef Secret:<\/em> Avoid over-mixing the dough! Folding gently ensures your finished cookies bake up pillowy, soft, and tender rather than dense or gummy.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      \u200bStep 3: Portion Dough & Arrange on Sheet Pan \ud83e\udd44\ud83d\udcd0<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      1. \u200bUse a medium cookie scoop or spoon to scoop out rounded dough balls (as demonstrated in the top-right image).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      2. \u200bDrop scoops of dough onto your prepared parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      3. \u200bPastry Tip:<\/em> These cookies will hold their scooped rounded shape and will not spread much while baking, so lightly press top dough domes flat with your fingertips if you prefer a flatter cookie profile.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      4. \u200bPress a few extra chocolate chips directly into the top of each dough ball prior to baking for a bakery-style visual appearance!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

        \u200bStep 4: Bake to Soft Perfection & Serve Warm \ud83c\udf7d\ufe0f\ud83d\udd25<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
          \n
        1. \u200bSlide the baking sheet onto the middle rack of your preheated oven at 350\u00b0F (175\u00b0C).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        2. \u200bBake for 13 to 15 minutes until cookie edges are set and tops spring back lightly when touched.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        3. \u200bRemove baking sheet from oven and allow cookies to cool directly on the hot pan for 5 minutes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        4. \u200bTransfer soft cookies onto a wire cooling rack or white serving platter to cool completely (as featured in the bottom-left bowl and bottom-right hand showcase).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        5. \u200bEnjoy warm alongside a cold glass of milk, hot coffee, or chai tea latte!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
