In a large bowl using a wooden spoon or in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the non-dairy butter and brown sugar until its well combined and fluffy.
8 tablespoon Non-Dairy Butter, 1 Cup Light Brown Sugar, tightly packed
Add pumpkin and vanilla and stir well to combine.
2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract, ⅓ Cup Pumpkin Pureé
Add the flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder, baking soda and salt and mix until JUST combined. Then add chocolate chips and mix until they are distributed.
2 Cups All Purpose Flour, 2 ¾ teaspoon Pumpkin Pie Spice, 1 ½ teaspoon Baking Powder, ¼ teaspoon Baking Soda, ½ teaspoon Kosher Salt, 1 Cup Non-Dairy Semi-Sweet or Dark Chocolate Chips
Using a ¼ cup measuring cup, scoop mounds of dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Then roll each mound into a ball using the palms of your hands.
Wrap with plastic wrap and place the tray into the refrigerator for 1 hour.
Preheat oven to 350* F.
Line another baking sheet with parchment and place 6-8 dough balls onto it leaving at least 2 ½" of space between each. Use your palm to gently press the dough balls down a bit (see photo for reference).
Bake in a 350* oven for 15-18 minutes. Allow to cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before moving to a cooling rack to completely cool.
Repeat with the remaining cookie dough.
