    Ingredients and Substitutions for Vegan Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies

    These cookies are just as easy to make as a chocolate chip cookie with added spices. The ingredients are just as simple and the method just as straightforward.

    Non-Dairy Butter: My favorite non dairy butter options for baking are Earth Balance Soy-Free Buttery Sticks and Country Crock Plant Butter (the avocado oil variety). Its important to always use non dairy butter that comes in stick form. This is because the stuff in the tub is meant for spreading onto toast, so its a softer formulation.

    Granulated Sugar: Sugar adds sweetness, promotes browning and chewiness.

    Molasses: For that brown sugar flavor that pairs so well with warm spices. Use fancy molasses here, not blackstrap!

    Pumpkin Pureé: My go-to brands for canned pumpkin pureé are Libby's and Farmers Market. I buy them both regularly depending on which grocery store I'm shopping at that day. In this recipe, I use pumpkin where I'd normally use a flax eg. The pumpkin helps bind the dough together and lends a mild pumpkin flavor to these Vegan Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies!

    Vanilla: A splash of vanilla extract for good measure. This rounds all the flavors out.

    All Purpose Flour: My preferred brand is King Arthur. The quality is unmatched!

    Leavener: A combo of baking powder and baking soda keep these cookies super soft but still chewy.

    Spices: They wouldn't be dairy free Vegan Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies with out plenty of spices! I use a blend of cinnamon, ginger, allspice and clove here. If you have pumpkin pie spice on hand, feel free to

    Non-Dairy Chocolate Chips: Last but certainly no least, these non dairy Vegan Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies need chocolate chips!

    How to Find Vegan Chocolate Chips

    There are so many great non dairy chocolate chip options out there. Tollhouse makes a line called Simply, and of course Enjoy Life has a bunch of great options, too.

    But, my trick for getting ones that don't cost double the price of other chocolate chips is look at the store brand. In my area, every single store has vegan chocolate chips.

    Just be sure look at semi-sweet or dark chocolate varieties and be sure to double check the ingredients, just in case!

    How to Store the Cookies

    My favorite way to store cookies is in the freezer. That way I can pull a couple out and warm them up in my toaster oven. Then I have warm cookies whenever I want them.

    Or, store these cookies in an airtight container at room temp for up to 4 days.
