These easy pumpkin cookies are the perfect fall recipe. When I think of perfect pumpkin cookies, they are always heavy on flavor, soft in the center, with a light fluffy texture.

Ingredients

  • ¼ cup light brown sugar
  • ½ cup coconut sugar, cane sugar will work fine too
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted, Earth Balance brand is vegan
  • ½ cup pumpkin puree, canned, not pumpkin mix
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 ¼ cups AP flour, all purpose
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
  • teaspoon salt

Equipment

  • baking tray
  • 2 mixing bowls
  • spatula and whisk

Instructions 

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • Line a baking tray with parchment paper and set it aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine your sugars and wet ingredients which include; the light brown sugar, coconut sugar, melted vegan butter, pumpkin puree, maple syrup, and vanilla flavor. Just make sure your butter is not too hot when you add it.
  • In a separate mixing bowl, combine your dry ingredients which include; the AP flour, baking soda, nutmeg, cinnamon and salt. Whisk until well combined.
  • Once the wet ingredients are well combined, pour everything into the dry ingredients. Fold the wet and dry ingredients together using a spatula until your dough begins to form.
  • Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes. This will make the dough easier to work with when forming the dough balls.
  • Once chilled, begin to form the dough into evenly sized balls. I used about 1 tablespoon of dough per ball.
  • Place the dough on the parchment paper. Bake for 12-13 minutes. I baked mine for 13 minutes and they had the perfect texture.
  • Let the cookies cool on a wire rack.
  • Serve and enjoy!
