Ingredients

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

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  2. Add flax meal and water mixture (as egg replacer), vanilla, and pumpkin purée and mix until incorporated.
  3. Sift in flour, baking powder, and pumpkin spice and mix until you have a thick and sticky batter.
  4. 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).
  5. Bake for about 15 minutes until the edges are slightly browned.
  6. Remove from pan and let cool on a wire rack. Store in an air tight container with some paper towel to absorb moisture.
