It is officially pumpkin season! I feel bad for people who do not like pumpkin because it is everywhere right now. Thankfully I’m just as obsessed as everyone else so I am all about this time of year. I wanted to share a tried and true pumpkin recipe with you guys that is one of my favorites. I hope you enjoy my pumpkin pie mookies!
I actually shared this recipe way back in 2011 but I thought I would spruce it up a little on here with some new pictures. If you haven’t been reading my blog for four years you may be wondering what the heck a mookie is. It’s a cross between a muffin and a cookie. It has the texture of a muffin but the shape of a cookie. Mookies have chewy exteriors with doughy interiors. They’re basically balls of pumpkin perfection. Oh, and the best part? They’re ridiculously easy to make.
Pumpkin Pie Mookies
Makes 24 cookies
Ingredients
1 box spice cake mix
1 can pumpkin
1 cup chocolate chips
1/2 teaspoon pumpkin spice mix
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a large bowl mix all ingredients together until well blended.
Spoon balls of blended mookie mixture onto greased cookie sheets.
Bake for 20 minutes or until mookies are firm to the touch.
Remove from oven, let cool, and enjoy!
Do you have recipes that always bring back a flood of memories when you make them? Pumpkin pie mookies are one of mine. This was one of the first things I ever baked for Josh. They were a staple of ours in college. Josh raved about them so much I’ve sent a few packages to his parents. Josh’s dad is actually the one who gave mookies their name! Mookies are a sweet treat and an equally sweet memory for me.
Questions of the Day: Are you a fan of pumpkin? What is a recipe you make that brings back special memories? Do mookies seem like something you would enjoy?
Hubba Hubba! I bet if you wrapped these up and handed them out to Trick or Treaters, they’d LOVE THEM!

I do EXACTLY this but make muffins! SO easy yet delicious..and healthier!

These look yummy, I’d have to figure out a GF version! I love pumpkin now but used to not – I would just love on all the apple cinnamon flavors around in the autumn 🙂 I often make “cuppins” which are muffin-cupcake hybrids, so mookies make total sense.
These look so great! I’ve been adding pumpkin to everything. I need to try these! Xoxo, Mindy
I love pumpkin! Except I’m one of the odd ones who doesn’t like it in her coffee. Everything else is delicious though! And a mookie sounds interesting…
I make these all the time. I love how you call them mookies. It is the perfect word for them!
LoL I feel bad too for who don’t like pumpkin!! I love pumpkin in anything!! Your pumpkin pie mookies… Looks delicious!
Mmm these sound divine right about now – pinned!
I get so jealous at this time of the year of all the pumpkin recipes (these look fab by the way!). We don’t have canned pumpkins, and the carving pumpkins that we have here just don’t taste that great.
I’d never heard of mookies, but I think I owe you a big thank you for the introduction! I love the concept and pumpkin and chocolate are two of my favorite flavors to combine! Yum!
My inner basic white girl is so happy right now..
I will seriously be making these! Amazing!
My favorite is pumpkin. Absolute favorite! Thanks for sharing 🙂
Haha, I LOVE the word ‘mookie.’ I can’t believe I’ve never heard of it before! Also, I’m a huge fan of pumpkin. It’s just warm and comforting without being too heavy. It’s just a nice reminder of Fall 🙂
These are my kind of cookies because I love cake. Thank you so much for sharing.
I was actually wondering what a mookie was – now I know! These look great – I need to make these to truly experience mookie perfection!
I feel so lucky because I actually got to eat the ones you made! I am going to buy the ingredients today and make a whole batch. This recipe has changed my life.
YUM! I love all things pumpkin. Thank goodness for fall! These look simple and delicious and I will definitely have to try them!
I love trying all things pumpkin in the fall! Thanks for sharing!

Love that name, mookies! I was wondering what that was. These look great and yes, I’m a fan of pumpkins, so happy it’s pumpkin season 🙂 Pinning this, thanks!
I had no idea what a mookie was, but this sounds great. These seem to be perfect for on the go.
We all have to embrace our inner pumpkin at this time of year I think 🙂 Pumpkin everything goes!
These look delicious! I love pumpkin flavour!
Wow – these look great. Can’t wait to try out the recipe.

Delicious! Your husband shared some of the ones you made, and they quickly won me over. I will be trying my hand at making these before the week is out.
The texture sounds absolutely perfect! I love soft, cake like cookies.
PHEW glad we can still be friends (I find it hard to trust anyone that does’t like pumpkin) 😉 YUM these ‘mookies’ look so so so nummy!!
This looks absolutely delicious! I can’t wait to give this recipe a try, thank you so much for sharing 🙂 Happy to have found your blog. Have a wonderful week.
I clicked over because I had to know what “mookies” were! Definitely excited to give these a try!

Hello, these are beautifully photographed and styled!–Love the article!-Katelyn
Mookies – genius!!! I love this – pumpkin everything please!
I’m glad someone else makes ‘mookies’!! There have been a few times that I’ve tested a recipe and end up not knowing what to call them because they aren’t a muffin, a cookie, a cupcake, or anything else that exists! 😉
We made these exact cookies (minus the chocolate chips) last weekend. SO TASTY!

I sure do like the sounds of a mookie, and also how easy it is to make. I can not WAIT to make some!
Looks super easy and yummy!
I can imagine how folks who don’t love pumpkin must feel… I love it and these cookies look great! 🙂
OMG THESE LOOK SO GOOD. I need to bust out my baking pans and get me some cans of pumpkin ASAP!!
