Ingredients
- ½ cup pumpkin purée
- ½ cup canola oil or other neutral-flavoured oil
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup light brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- ¾ cup all purpose flour
- ½ cup spelt flour or whole wheat or all purpose
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon fine-grain salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 pinch ground cloves
- ½ cup vegan chocolate chips
Instructions
- Pre-heat your oven to 350°F/180°C and line your cookie sheets with parchment paper.
- Add ½ cup pumpkin purée, ¼ cup brown sugar, ¼ cup white sugar, and ½ cup oil to a large mixing bowl and whisk to combine.
- Add ¾ cup all-purpose flour, ½ cup spelt flour, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, ¼ teaspoon ground ginger, a pinch cloves, ½ teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt to the bowl.
- Use a fork to lightly stir the dry ingredients together right on top of the wet ingredients, and then mix them together.
- Add ½ cup vegan chocolate chips to the bowl, and use a wooden spoon or a spatula to gently fold them into the cookie dough.
- Use a cookie scoop or a spoon to scoop generous tablespoons of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets. You can sprinkle the tops with sea salt if you like (I highly recommend it!)
- Bake the cookies for about 20 minutes, until golden brown on the top.
- Remove from the oven, and let the cookies cool on the cookie sheet for five minutes before transferring them to a wire wrack to cool to room temperature.
Notes
- Nutrition values are an estimate only.
- I have not tested this recipe with gluten-free flour, so can't say for sure how it would turn out. Presumably a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend would work fine, but please let us know in the comments if you try!
- Since these cookies are soft and cakey, it's important to let them cool on the tray for a few minutes before transferring to the wrack.
- Feel free to use pumpkin pie spice in lieu of the individual spices.
