Pumpkin Oatmeal Cookies

These cookies come out soft and chewy with a nice balance of pumpkin and spice. I made them this week for a back to school lunch or snack option.

Pumpkin Oatmeal Cookies

Ingredients:

3/4 cup vegan margarine, softened
1/2 cup canned pumpkin
1 cup vegan sugar
1 tbsp flax meal
2 tsp molasses

1 1/2 cups flour (I have used a gluten free mix before and they still turn out great)
1 3/4 cups rolled oats
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp allspice

Directions:

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees.

Combine the wet ingredients and the sugar in a large bowl (margarine, pumpkin, sugar, flax meal and molasses).

Add the dry ingredients and fold them in until everything is combined (flour, oats, salt, soda, cinnamon, and allspice).

Drop rounded spoonfuls onto a lightly greased cookie sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes. These cookies hold their shape in the oven, so I like to lightly press them with the back of a spoon before baking.
