Notes
- Flatten the cookies: They don’t spread in the oven, so flattening/shaping them beforehand is important.
- The cookie size: You can easily increase or decrease their size and the baking time accordingly.
- Be careful not to overbake the cookies: They may look soft, but these vegan pumpkin chocolate chip cookies firm up as they cool.
