Weight Watchers Pumpkin Spice Cookies

1 box spice cake mix
1 can pumpkin (15 oz.)
Chocolate chips, to taste

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray cookie sheets with non-stick cooking spray. In a large bowl mix together all ingredients (add chocolate chips to taste). Drop cookie dough onto cookie sheets and bake for 10-12 min. Makes about 48 cookies.

Tip: If you use mini chocolate chips, you can get away with using a lot less (ie. 1/2 cup instead of 1 cup) because the tiny little chips will spread throughout the dough.
