Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup vegan butter (room temperature)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar + 2 tablespoons for rolling
  • 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 subbed 1:1)
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste (or vanilla extract)
  • 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice

Instructions

  1. Prepare a flax egg by mixing 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed with 3 tablespoons water. Let it sit until thickened.
  2. In a bowl, cream together vegan butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Mix in the flax egg and vanilla bean paste until well combined.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add to wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
  5. For the filling, combine pumpkin puree, maple syrup, oat milk, cornstarch, vanilla bean paste, and additional pumpkin pie spice in a separate bowl.
  6. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Scoop cookie dough, flatten it slightly, place about one tablespoon of filling in the center, fold edges over to enclose it completely, then roll into balls and coat with sugar.
  7. Bake on parchment-lined baking sheets for about 15 minutes or until golden around the edges.
