Ingredients

Scale

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

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Combine wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, blend the pumpkin purée, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth and fully incorporated.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
