Vegan Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies
Super soft Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies loaded with melty chocolate chips and warm fall spices. A quick and easy to make treat.
Ingredients
Wet Ingredients:
- ½ cup pumpkin puree
- ½ cup dairy-free butter melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients:
- 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- ¼ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup cane sugar
- 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
- ⅔ cup chocolate chips plus more to top the cookies
Instructions
- First, preheat the oven to 350ºF / 175º C and line two cookie sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, butter and vanilla. Beat until well mixed.
- Mix in the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, sugar and the spices. Whisk until the dry ingredients have incorporated into the wet ingredients and the mixture is smooth. This will take 1 or 2 minutes.
- Fold the chocolate chips and mix well.
- Scoop the dough into balls onto the prepared sheets, keeping them about 2 inches apart.
- Place in the oven and bake them for 10 to 12 minutes (don’t over bake), until cooked on the edges but still soft in the center. Press the extra chocolate chips on top of warm cookies.
- Let them sit on the cookie sheet for 15 minutes. They will firm up during that time. Transfer them to a cooling rack.
Notes
MAKE AHEAD: You can make the dough ahead and keep it in the fridge. Remember to bring it to room temperature before baking them otherwise the dough will be too hard to scoop it.
DON’T OVER BAKE: Remove the cookies from the oven once they are set on the edges but the centers are still soft.
GLUTEN-FREE: To make it gluten-free, substitute all-purpose flour for AP gluten-free flour mix at a ratio of 1:1.
DRY OUT THE PUMPKIN PUREE: Homemade pumpkin puree tends to be thinner than the canned one. To remove excess water, place the puree on absorbent paper towels. It may sound messy but it isn’t, the puree will almost peel off the paper towel.
