Vegan Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies

Okay, I have to admit, most months out of the year a Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookie wouldn’t be my first choice…but October hits and BOOM, I NEED all things pumpkin. I’m fairly certain everyone else is on the same page. I did multiple test runs of these cookies and force fed them to all my friends and neighbors, unanimously they agreed, DELICIOUS.

These cookies encompass everything a cozy cookie should. They are chewy, thick, full of all our favorite fall flavors, mixed in with gooey chocolate chips. And of course, they are vegan.

Bring a batch to a halloween party or curl up on the couch with a cookie or two. Whatever you do, you will not be disappointed, and maybe, JUST MAYBE, you’ll even want one after October ends…
