Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Halloween Pumpkin Spice Cookies (Vegan)
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine vegan butter, pumpkin puree, brown sugar, and organic cane sugar. Blend on medium speed for about 2-3 minutes until fluffy. Optionally, add vanilla extract.
  2. In another bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, cornstarch, and a pinch of salt until no lumps remain.
  3. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture using low speed. Mix until the dough comes together, about 30 seconds to 1 minute.
  4. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to prevent spreading.
  5. Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface to about ¼ inch thickness and cut out shapes using cookie cutters.
  6. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake at 350°F (177°C) for 6-8 minutes, until edges are set.
  7. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar before serving.

Notes

Refrigerate the dough to keep shapes intact and avoid overmixing for a tender texture. Watch cookies closely while baking as they won't brown much.
