Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Prepare Wet Ingredients: In a stand mixer or large bowl, combine the softened vegan butter, organic cane sugar, brown sugar, pumpkin puree, and vanilla extract. Mix on medium speed for about 2-3 minutes until fluffy.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, and salt. Whisk for about 1 minute to aerate.
  3. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients on low speed until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
  4. Chill Dough: Cover and chill in the freezer for 30 minutes or refrigerate overnight.
  5. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  6. Shape Cookies: Roll dough between parchment to about ¼-inch thick. Use cookie cutters or form 2-inch balls.
  7. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 6-12 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden.
  8. Cool: Allow to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
