Ingredients

1 cup pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)

½ cup maple syrup (pure maple syrup)

½ cup coconut oil (or any oil of your choice), melted

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

½ teaspoon ground nutmeg

¼ teaspoon ground ginger (optional)

¼ teaspoon salt

½ cup rolled oats (optional, for added texture)

½ cup vegan chocolate chips or chopped walnuts (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger (if using), and salt.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined. The dough should be soft and slightly sticky.
  5. If using, fold in the rolled oats, chocolate chips, or walnuts. Mix gently until evenly distributed.
  6. Use a spoon or cookie scoop to drop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Flatten each cookie slightly with the back of the spoon.
  7. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies are golden around the edges. They should still be soft in the center when you take them out of the oven.
  8. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Feel free to mix in vegan chocolate chips, chopped nuts, raisins, or dried cranberries to add extra texture and flavor to the cookies.

Adjust the spices according to your taste. You can increase the cinnamon or add cloves for a more intense spiced flavor.

To make these cookies gluten-free, use a gluten-free flour blend. You may need to add a bit more liquid if the dough is too dry.

Top with a maple glaze or cream cheese frosting for extra indulgence.
