Vegan Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Cookies

Whenever we make this soup for dinner (a favorite at our home) we inevitably make these cookies for dessert afterwards with the leftover pumpkin.  It's so wonderful how one of our favorite meals leads to our favorite dessert! These cookies areoat-y and slightly chewy with the pumpkin flavor coming through nicely, but not overwhelming so. I will say I prefer these cookies the next day as it seems to enhance the flavor.
