Vegan pumpkin spiced cookies
February 25, 2013 § 3 Comments
I was way late to the pumpkin party this year.
Only in the past month have I begun to make warm bowls of pumpkin pie oatmeal and spicy pumpkin curries. It may be February, but there is something about pumpkin that brings me so much comfort, and with the grey, rainy days we have been having here in Toronto and the passive aggressive stress of my last semester of university, I have been in need of comfort. These warm, soft, vegan pumpkin spiced cookies that I made last night brought me just the kind of comfort I needed.
If you too have got the February blues, pour yourself a cup of vanilla chai tea, bake up a batch of these cookies and laugh at the printer cat until you’ve forgotten all about your deadlines

OK this sounds so awesome! I love love love pumpkin cookies — looks like a great vegan variation!
I have made so many kinds of pumpkin cookies and I think these are the best! The carob chips make them!
Due to this blog I was able to broaden my horizons.
