What you need:
1/2 cup vegan margarine (I use Earth Balance)
2/3 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup maple syrup
1 teaspoon molasses
1 cup pumpkin puree
1 cup flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
3/4 teaspoon cloves
1/2 teaspoon ginger
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
2 cups oats
1/2 cup chocolate chips
1/3 cup raisins
1/3 cup cranberries
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
What you do:
1. Preheat oven to 350 F.
2. In a medium bowl, cream together margarine and sugar until fluffy. Stir in maple syrup, molasses, and pumpkin puree.
3. In a separate large bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and spices (cinnamon cloves, ginger, and nutmeg).
4. Fold pumpkin mixture into flour mixture. Stir in oats, chocolate chips, raisins, cranberries, and walnuts.
5. Place rounded spoonfuls onto cookie sheets and bake for 12 minutes. After you’ve taken them out of the oven, let the cookies cool on the sheet for a couple minutes and then transfer to a cooling rack.
