Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup pumpkin purée
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil (such as canola or sunflower)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, and salt until well combined.
- Combine wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, blend the pumpkin purée, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth and fully incorporated.
- Make the dough: Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a spoon or spatula until just mixed. Avoid overmixing to keep cookies tender.
- Scoop dough: Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
- Bake cookies: Place the tray in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cookies are soft around the edges but set in the middle.
- Cool and serve: Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the tray for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy your pumpkin pie cookies warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- For a gluten-free version, substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free all-purpose blend.
- You can adjust the pumpkin pie spice to suit your taste, adding more for extra warmth or less for a milder flavor.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
- Optional: add vegan chocolate chips or chopped nuts for extra texture and flavor.
