Ingredients
½ cup shortening½ cup vegan margarine (I used Becel)½ cup icing sugar 1 tsp vanilla1 tbsp maple syrup2 cups oat flour 1 tbsp pumpkin pie spice ¼ tsp sea salt 1 cup pumpkin puree½ cup dried cranberries, raisins, dates or mini chocolate chips (optional, I used Craisins)
Directions
Beat the shortening and margarine until creamy.
Sift in the icing sugar, and add vanilla and maple syrup. Beat until fluffy.
Add the flour, spice and salt and beat in.
Beat in pumpkin until a very sticky dough is formed.
Fold in the cranberries.
Wrap in plastic and refrigerate 1 hour.
Preheat oven to 350F and line sheets with parchment or silicone.
For slice-n-bakes: with lightly floured hands and counter, roll the chilled dough into a thick log. Wrap in plastic wrap and freeze 2 hours. Using a sharp serrated knife, slice into ¼”- thick discs.
For hand-formed (recommended for cookies with additions): scoop 1 ½-tbsp sized balls of dough and flatten between your palms to ¼” thick.
For both: bake 18-20 minutes. Cool 10 minutes on the sheets before carefully removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
