Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup vegan butter (room temperature)
  • 1/2 cup + 2 tablespoons sugar (½ cup for dough, 2 tablespoons for rolling before baking)
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 flax egg (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed mixed with 3 tablespoons water)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste (or vanilla extract)
  • 1 1/2 cups + 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2/3 cup pumpkin puree (NOT pumpkin pie filling)
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons oat milk (or any plant-based milk)
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste (or vanilla extract)
  • 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • Vegan whipped cream
  • Pumpkin pie spice (to sprinkle on top of cookies)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the flax egg by combining 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed with 3 tablespoons water; let it thicken for about 5 minutes.
  2. In a bowl, cream together vegan butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until fluffy. Add the flax egg and vanilla, mixing until well combined.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder, and salt before gradually adding to the wet mixture until just combined.
  4. For the filling, mix pumpkin puree, maple syrup, oat milk, cornstarch, vanilla bean paste, and pumpkin pie spice until smooth.
  5. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Scoop dough onto parchment-lined baking sheets; place a teaspoon of pumpkin filling in the center and cover with more dough.
  6. Bake for approximately 15 minutes or until edges are lightly golden. Allow to cool slightly before serving.
