If you haven’t noticed, I’m a little obsessed with pumpkins. In the fall, I try to incorporate pumpkin into as many goodies as possible. I’m thrilled that a pumpkin-related recipe is the first I share on Blacksburg Belle.
When my husband and I were brainstorming names for these cookies, my man said that the fluffy consistency of the cookies was more like pumpkin bread than a cookie. That’s how the name came to be.
This recipe makes a dozen cookies.
Ingredients:
1/4 cup vegan margarine, melted
1/3 cup unsweetened applesauce
1 cup pumpkin pie filling
1 teaspoon Ener-G egg replacer, whisked with 1 tablespoon of water
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup almond flour
3/4 cup brown rice flour
1/4 cup evaporated cane sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons flax meal
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon arrowroot
1/2 cup vegan chocolate chips
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
3. In a mixing bowl, combine the melted margarine, unsweetened applesauce, pumpkin pie filling. Mix until smooth and creamy.
4. Add the egg replacer and vanilla flavoring. Stir until combined.
5. In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, brown rice flour, evaporate cane sugar, baking powder, baking soda, flax meal, sea salt, and arrowroot.
6. Mix the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients. Fold in the chocolate chips and mix until incorporated evenly.
7. Use an ice-cream scoop to drop spoonfuls of the cookies onto the parchment lined baking sheet. The cookies won’t spread too much.
8. Bake for 22 to 25 minutes–until lightly browned.
9. Remove from the oven and cool on a wire rack.

Put four or five of these cookies in a recycled mason jar. Tie a piece of baker’s twine around the top and add this FREE printable tag I designed just for these cookies.
oooh, those sound yummy! who wouldn’t be delighted to receive those cookies with that cute little tag!?
Thanks Alicia! My husband loooooooves them…I only got to eat one before they were all gone.
Looks delicious! I love it that you made free printable tags (too cute!). These would make great hostess gifts for all those holiday parties. I’m loving the new Blacksburg Belle already. 🙂
Thanks Sage! 🙂
I haven’t made cookies in forever! I’ve been living in the Philippines for 3 years and stoves are actually really uncommon here unless you’re rich and elite or something. I love mason jars! I may have to try out this recipe (and pumpkin spiced lattes, another thing I miss!) when I visit the US for a month.. next week! also, i just realized your profile pic on your sidebar is you wearing an apron and so your new recipe sharing is BRILLIANT and makes total sense. Especially when you consider personal branding and how lifestyle businesses should share their lifestyle (‘personal’) to actually increase business success.. this is great.
