Ingredients
  

For the Dough
  • 1/2 cup Vegan Butter Provides moisture and richness; substitute with coconut oil for a dairy-free option.
  • 1/2 cup Organic Cane Sugar Sweetens the cookies uniformly; use brown sugar for a deeper flavor instead.
  • 1/2 cup Brown Sugar Adds moisture and enhances flavor; can be substituted with coconut sugar for a lower glycemic index.
  • 1 cup Pumpkin Puree Ensure it's pure pumpkin with no additives.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Enhances flavor complexity; use maple syrup as an alternative if desired.
  • 2 cups All-Purpose Flour Swap with a gluten-free blend if necessary.
  • 2 tablespoons Cornstarch Contributes to soft texture; can be omitted or replaced with arrowroot.
  • 1 teaspoon Baking Powder A leavening agent for lightness; ensure it's fresh.

Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Cream the Butters and Sugars: In a large bowl or stand mixer, combine vegan butter, organic cane sugar, and brown sugar. Mix for 2-3 minutes until smooth.
  2. Add Pumpkin and Vanilla: Incorporate pumpkin puree and vanilla extract into the creamed mixture. Blend for another minute until well combined.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, and salt. Whisk until evenly mixed.
  4. Mix Dry and Wet Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring gently until a cohesive dough forms.
  5. Chill the Dough: Cover the dough tightly with plastic wrap and chill it in the freezer for about 30 minutes.
  6. Preheat Your Oven: While the dough chills, preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  7. Roll and Cut the Dough: Once chilled, roll out the dough and use cookie cutters to shape the cookies.
  8. Bake the Cookies: Place the cut-out cookies on the baking sheet and bake for 6-12 minutes until edges are lightly golden.
  9. Cool and Enjoy: Allow the cookies to cool before enjoying, possibly sprinkling with cinnamon sugar.
