Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Prepare the flax egg by mixing 1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed with 3 tablespoons of water; set aside.
In a mixing bowl, cream together vegan butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until fluffy. Add the flax egg and vanilla; mix well.
In another bowl, whisk together flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder, and salt; gradually add to the wet mixture until just combined.
Roll the dough into balls and coat in sugar before placing on the baking sheet.
Mix pumpkin puree, maple syrup, oat milk, cornstarch, vanilla, and additional spice for filling; create an indentation in each cookie ball and fill it with this mixture.
Bake for about 15 minutes or until edges are lightly golden. Cool on wire racks before serving.
