These Vegan Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies are oooey, gooey, and full of Pumpkin flavor. They are the perfect Fall dessert that takes only 30 minutes to make!
It is Fall and so I naturally gravitate towards all things pumpkin which is what inspired these vegan pumpkin chocolate chip cookies. The combination of chocolate chips and pumpkin in a moist and melty cookie is what Fall dreams are made of.
One thing to note is these cookies are gooey and deliciously chewy from the consistency of the batter with the pumpkin puree added in just like my Pumpkin Blondies with White Chocolate Chunks.

Expert Tips
Be certain you are using pumpkin puree and not pumpkin pie mix! These are two different ingredients but can be mistaken for one another.
Do not stack the cookies when they come out of the oven. Instead, place them on top of parchment paper next to one another until they cool completely. This will keep them from sticking together from their oooey gooeyness.
FAQs
If you are not on a strictly vegan diet then you can use any chocolate chips you prefer. I would recommend semi-sweet but you can also use milk or dark chocolate chips. With that being said, my favorite vegan chocolate chips are actually the Tollhouse Allergen Free chocolate chips. I can’t taste a difference and they’re free from all of the big allergens which is nice when it comes to baking on a specific diet.
Of course! Homemade pumpkin puree is always fresher in my opinion but you can also use canned pumpkin puree. Be sure that it’s the puree and not pumpkin pie filling!
Storage Information
You can store these cookies in an airtight container on your counter at room temperature for 2-3 days or up to 5 days in the fridge.
If you want to freeze these cookies, you can do so in your freezer for up to 2 months.
