Ingredients
Scale
- 2 1/4 cups (280g) all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- Pinch of nutmeg
- 1/2 cup (115g) vegan butter, unsalted
- 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup (50g) brown sugar
- 1/3 cup (75g) pumpkin puree
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line your baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
- In another bowl, beat vegan butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
- Mix in pumpkin puree and vanilla extract. Beat until combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until a soft dough forms.
- Use a cookie scoop or spoon to form balls of dough. Place them on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are soft.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
[‘Don’t overmix the dough to avoid tough cookies.’, ‘Let vegan butter soften at room temperature for easier creaming.’, ‘Chill the dough for 15 minutes if it feels sticky.’, ‘Cookies should look slightly underbaked in the center when removed from the oven; they will firm up as they cool.’, ‘Customize the sweetness with sugar sprinkles or a simple glaze.’]
