  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice for extra flavor

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine pumpkin puree, brown sugar, and melted vegan butter until smooth. Gradually mix in all-purpose flour, baking soda, and cinnamon until just blended.
  2. Drop generous balls of dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie. Flatten each ball slightly with the back of the spoon.
  3. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake cookies for about 10 minutes until the edges are golden and centers are soft. Let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
  4. Prepare the frosting by whipping together softened vegan butter, powdered sugar, and cinnamon until fluffy and smooth. Frost cooled cookies with the cinnamon frosting.
  5. Serve fresh alongside a warm mug of cider, or store in an airtight container.
