Vegan Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe FAQs
What kind of pumpkin puree should I use?
Absolutely use canned pumpkin puree for convenience and consistency. Make sure it’s pure pumpkin and not pumpkin pie filling, which contains added sugars and spices. If you prefer, you can also make your own puree by roasting and blending fresh pumpkin.
How should I store these cookies?
You can store Vegan Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days to keep them soft and fresh. For longer storage, they will stay good in the fridge for up to a week in a sealed container, or you can freeze them for up to a month.
Can I freeze these cookies? If so, how?
Yes! To freeze your Vegan Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies, first, place them in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze until solid (around 2 hours). Then, transfer them to a labeled freezer bag, making sure to remove as much air as possible. They will keep well for about a month. To enjoy, simply thaw at room temperature for about 1 hour before serving.
What should I do if the dough feels too sticky?
If your dough is too sticky, don’t panic! This can happen if the humidity is high or there’s too much moisture in the pumpkin puree. You can gradually add more flour, a tablespoon at a time, until it reaches a semi-sticky consistency. Just be careful not to add too much, as you still want that soft texture!
Can I make these cookies gluten-free?
Very much! To adapt the Vegan Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies for a gluten-free diet, use a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend in place of all-purpose flour. This should yield a soft, chewy cookie without any issues. Test the texture of the dough to ensure it isn’t overly dry.
Are these cookies safe for pets?
No, these cookies contain ingredients like chocolate and sugar, which are not safe for pets. Keep them out of reach of your furry friends! However, consider making a pet-friendly treat with pumpkin and peanut butter just for them if you’re feeling generous!
