Ingredients

  • ½ cup vegan butter like Earth Balance, room temperature
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 tsp ground flax meal + 6 tbsp warm water mixed and set aside for 1 minute to thicken
  • ½ tsp vanilla
  • 1 cup pumpkin purée
  • 3 cups all purpose flour
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp pumpkin spice

Instructions

  • Cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Add flax meal and water mixture (as egg replacer), vanilla, and pumpkin purée and mix until incorporated.
  • Sift in flour, baking powder, and pumpkin spice and mix until you have a thick and sticky batter.
  • On a lined baking pan (either Silpat or parchment paper), spoon out heaping scoops of batter (I do about 2-3 tbsp of batter because I love big puffy cake cookies).
  • Bake for about 15 minutes until the edges are slightly browned.
  • Remove from pan and let cool on a wire rack. Store in an air tight container with some paper towel to absorb moisture.
