Who Knew It Was Vegan Pumpkin Cookies

[cupmycakes]

could someone share a cream cheese type icing recipe with us?

I am trying to cut back on soy so here :

1/2 cup  brown rice "cream cheese" alternative ( i get mine at whole foods or i heard other health food stores carry it) (or you can use your favorite cream cheese replacer)
1/4 cup earth balance (or other butter replacer)
1 1/4 vanilla extract (real please, artificial is GROSSSSS)
1-3 tsp vanilla rice milk(add one at a time)
1/2 tsp cinnamon(brings out the flavor of the food it is on top of haha)
1/4 cup powder sugar +
1 tsp agave nectar (you can omitt this and just add more powder sugar if you want the frosting thicker and sugary-er)

these were amazing!!!!! i replaced the raisins with vegan chocolate chips and made them HUGE bakery style cookies, i ate like 5 cookies (not to mention half of the dough) i think these are my new favorite food!

[norabell]

these were wonderful - i used 3 cups whole wheat flour and one cup wheat bran and they were still cakey and moist. also added 2 tsp ground flax seed. otherwise followed the recipe faithfully, oh except reduced the sugar by about 3/4 cups... but then the pumpkin puree i made had a bit of maple syrup in it, so who knows... they were sweet!

oh and i did 1/2 cup canola oil 1/2 cup unsweetened soymilk as opposed to a full cup of oil.

delicious! thanks for the recipe

p.s. this makes A LOT of cookies (or batter at least - wether or not the batter makes it into cookie form is another story)

I am not a big cookie person, so pretty much any cookie recipe gets ignored... but being a pumpkin crazed fool, mixed with a sweet tooth, I thought I would give it a try. Omitting the nuts and Raisins, and halving the recipe (Short attention span. God bless all of you who made all 6 dozen!), this is probably my favorite of all of the cookie recipes on the net. Try it!

These cookies were really good! I would classify them more as a "muffin-esque" cookie, and might consider scooping out the batter with an ice cream baller next time! 

I omitted the raisins and nuts, and upped the spices a little, oh, and put in a 4oz container of applesauce and about 1/4 cup oil instead of the 1 cup oil.

I would definitely make these again (and my roommates agree!)

My search for the perfect pumpkin bread recipe has ended! I made the cookie dough, and after reading the reviews about the cakiness of the cookies, I decided to put some dough in an ungreased mini loaf pan. It baked for about 40 minutes, and it turned out beautifully! Moist and flavorful, and not too dense. I used chocolate chips instead of nuts and raisins-yum.  I used about 3/4 cups of oil, could probably reduce it even more.
This will be my standard recipe from now on- it's so easy and there are no obscure or hard to find ingredients. I also like that it calls for a whole can of pumpkin- I hate having to figure out what to do with the leftovers. A great holiday recipe!
I'm gonna make muffins next...

These smell yummy except really sweet.

I made the following modifications:
I halved the recipe to use some leftover canned pumpkin
I didn't have any nutmeg so I put 1 tsp pumpkin spice along with the rest of the spices.
I used both raisins and about 1/4 cup of pumpkin seeds
I reduced the sugar to 3/4 cup
I used 1/2 cup soy yogurt in replacement of the yogurt
I used 1 1/2 cups of gluten free flour

I will update when I try them later this afternoon.

They are great moist cookies and not too sweet. My mom says they taste like muffin tops. I am bringing them to class for my report on celiac disease and hope they enjoy them as well. The only thing I would do different next time would be to ommit the raisins and pumpkin seeds, as I am not a fan of raisins or chewy texture in cookies.

yum yum yum and very easy.

I agree with the person who suggested flattening the cookies a bit on the cookie pan, unless you want roundish cookies.

Next time I am going to make them with the frosting -- cream cheese. Then they will be beyond divine!

[mllebretagne]

A very good flavor and a delicate cakey texture, though I prefer chewier cookies.

[DangGirl]

I adore these unique, cakey yum yums!  Of course, I love just about anything with pumpkin involved....

I also made a simple sugar glaze to drizzle on top.....shiny cookies taste good!

[sibeling]

These cookies are delicious!  With certain modifications, they make quite a tasty and semi-healthy breakfast.  I cut back on the sugar by about half but added a bit of maple syrup.  I also used half whole wheat flour, flax seeds, and cut back on the oil.  So good, the whole office loved them!  Soon there will an officeful of vegan converts!

I made this for my school's bake sale. i actually made cookie mini muffins because we only had one cookie sheet and like five muffin tins (what is up w/ that?). they turned out pretty well.

Tasty! I omitted the raisins and added chopped pecans.  The cookies were a little too bread-like so next time I would cook it in a loaf pan. 

[Lauuren]

These are great - but as others said, they don't spread, they only puff up, so you want to mash them down some.  The dough seems too sticky to do this, so I didn't, but I should have tried harder.  Delicious, though!
