Vegan Pumpkin Spice Cookies

Fall time is my favorite season! You get to experience the leaves turning, harvest the best fruits and vegetables, then celebrate all the best holiday seasons – Thanksgiving, Halloween, and Christmas! I feel like the end of the year goes by way too fast and I want you to enjoy every single moment of it with the best vegan recipes. I don’t know about you, but I have been a huge fan of Taylor Swift for some time her album seems to drop around the Fall time. So in light of Taylor Swift’s new album, Midnight, I have veganized Taylor’s infamous Pumpkin Spice Cookies, so you can feel like she made you her favorite cookies.

 Pro Tips:

• If you are not a fan of pumpkin, you can substitute it for butternut squash, sweet potatoes, or roasted acorn squash puree.
• If you want to spice it up a notch, you can put in 1 tsp of crushed-up chai tea leaves to your mix (this is optional).
• you can add whole pecans or walnuts to garnish (optional).
