½ cup Pumpkin Puree (note 2)
⅓ cup Melted Dairy-Free Butter (Unsalted) (note 3)

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

Preheat the oven 350°F (180°C). Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper. Lightly oil the paper with a cooking oil spray.
In a mixing bowl, whisk melted, cooled butter, pumpkin puree, soft brown sugar, and the optional vanilla extract, pumpkin pie spices, and salt, if used.
Fold in the self-rising flour with a rubber spatula to incorporate it and form a cookie dough.
Feel free to add chopped nuts and stir to evenly incorporate them.
Lightly oil a cookie dough scoop, grab some cookie dough, and release it on the baking sheet, leaving a thumb of space between the cookies. Press down the top of the cookies with your lightly oiled hands.
Bake the cookies for 15-16 minutes at 350°F (180°C) on the center rack of the oven until golden brown on the edges.
Let them cool down on a cooling rack for an hour.

Notes

Note 1: One cup of self-rising flour is equivalent to 1 cup of all-purpose flour with 2 teaspoons of baking powder. For a gluten-free option, use my gluten-free converter, but don't forget the baking powder.

Note 2: You can use canned pure pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling) or make homemade pumpkin puree.

Note 3: You can use light-flavor oils like almond oil or light olive oil, but the cookies will be harder and not as moist.

Note 4: You can use other granulated sweeteners, but soft brown sugar provides more moisture, and white sugar hardens and crisps the cookies more.

Note 5: Spices are highly recommended, or the cookies will be bland. Pick all the optional flavors, or just one or two, as you like.

Note 6: You can swap it for pumpkin pie spices.

Oven Mode: I use the fan-forced (convection) mode of my oven. If you have to use conventional mode, I recommend increasing the temperature by 25°F (15°C). The baking time should be the same, but it might take a few more minutes.
