Get the Recipe: Vegan Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies
These Vegan pumpkin chocolate chip cookies are so gooey, fudge like and delicious! Unlike most pumpkin cookies, they are not cake like. These easy Vegan pumpkin cookies have the best flavor and texture!
Ingredients
- ½ cup coconut oil, room temperature
- ⅔ cup light brown sugar, packed tightly
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ cup pumpkin purée
- 1 tbsp molasses
- 2 cups gluten free 1 to 1 flour, or all purpose flour
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips
Instructions
- First, preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking pan with parchment paper.
- In a stand mixer or large bowl, add coconut oil and brown sugar. Beat for 1 minute or until combined.
- Then, add in vanilla extract, pumpkin purée and molasses. Mix until combined.
- Add in remaining ingredients except chocolate chips. Stir until a thick dough is formed.
- Fold in dark chocolate chips.
- Scoop dough into 1 ½ inch balls. Place on lined baking pan at least 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until cookies are just barely set in the middle.
- Remove from oven. Allow cookies to cool on pan for 15 minutes. They are soft and fragile!
- Once cooled, carefully place cookies on cooling rack to finish cooling.
Notes
- Use pumpkin purée, not pumpkin pie filling.
- Very tightly pack brown sugar while measuring.
- Both gluten free 1 to 1 flour and all purpose flour work in this recipe. I used King Arthur Flour gluten free.
- The cookie dough will be slightly thicker than normal cookie dough.
- Bake cookies until they are just barely set in the middle. They will firm up a little bit while cooling on the baking pan.
- Allow cookies to cool for 15 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack. They are soft and fragile!
- Store cookies covered at room temperature for up to 3 days. Store in fridge for up to 7 days.
- These cookies freeze well.
