Soft Pumpkin Cookies

by Kathy Patalsky · updated: Oct 19, 2023 · published: Sep 12, 2018 · About 3 minutes to read this article. Leave a Comment


These vegan Soft Pumpkin Cookies with optional chocolate chunks are a delicious treat for fall. Warmly spiced and sweetened with coconut sugar, they have a pumpkin patch meets cozy Halloween night sort of aroma. They have a, fall leaves, crisp breezes, a crackling fire, cinnamon-spice, Jack-o-lantern sort of vibe. So if you are in a cookie baking sort of mood this month, whip up some of these for your friends and fam! These pair well with your fave latte or mug of hot tea. They also pack well in lunch boxes or baggies for an on-the-go snack. The hearty pumpkin flavor gives these a bit more oomph and added goodness than a traditional chocolate chip cookie. So feel good about snacking on these!....

Soft and plump with plenty of fall spice flavor. a hint of vanilla and a touch of richness from optional chocolate chunks. These cookies are a great way to bake with pumpkin!
I used a whole wheat pastry flour, but you can experiment with all purpose flour or even a gluten-free blend, if desired. these are tender and buttery, sweet, but not too sweet. They have a sort of pumpkin pie meets chocolate chip cookie flavor.
The soft and pillowy part of these cookies was what I was trying to create with this recipe. They are almost muffin-like, yet still have a slight chewiness of a cookie. If you want the a bit crisper around the edges, bake for a few additional minutes.
