Ingredients
- ½ cup of vegan butter at room temperature
- ¼ cup of brown sugar
- ¼ cup of sugar
- ⅓ cup of unsweetened applesauce
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- ⅔ cup of pumpkin puree
- 1 cup of all-purpose flour
- 3 teaspoons of pumpkin pie spice
- ½ teaspoon of baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon of salt
- 2 cups of old-fashioned rolled oats
Instructions
- In the bowl of a stand mixer (or a large bowl if you’re using a handheld electric mixer), add the vegan butter, brown and granulated sugar. Mix on high for 5 minutes until light and fluffy. Add the applesauce, vanilla extract, and pumpkin puree. Mix for 2 minutes until fully combined.
- In a medium bowl, mix the flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda, salt, and oats. Add the dry ingredients to the bowl with the wet ingredients.
- Cover the bowl with a damp towel and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Using a 1 ½ tablespoon scoop, scoop the cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets. Using your hand, gently press down to lightly flatten each cookie.
- Bake for 10 to 13 minutes or until the edges and bottom of the cookies are lightly browned and the top is dry. Remove them from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool and set completely.

Notes
- Measure the flour properly: This helps you avoid dense cookies. Fluff the flour in its bag, spoon it into a measuring cup, and level it with a knife.
- Flatten the cookies before baking: They don’t spread while baking, so it’s best to gently flatten them into a more cookie-like shape.
- If the cookies are too cakey: Try blotting the pumpkin puree next time to remove excess liquid.
