Taking a page from my sweetpotato cookie dough book, I figured this fall weather called for a delectable pumpkin spice cookie dough.
And this recipe doesnโt disappoint โ because, really, who doesnโt enjoy edible pumpkin cookie dough?!
While pumpkin is a fall staple, itโs really one of those ingredients you can use year-round since itโs so nutritionally sound.
Make this pumpkin cookie dough recipe for your Halloween party, but make it in the winter and spring too.
Itโs a great vegan fall recipe, but more so, a great dip for fruit, graham crackers or eating on its own.
This recipe is one of my favorite healthy after school snacks for the kiddos. I also love to mix it with greek yogurt for a protein boost.
Pumpkin puree is a magical ingredient to upgrade many recipes, and works great in these pumpkin oatmeal balls, which freeze easily!
We love these easy pumpkin no bake cookies and actually eat them year round โ theyโre great as homemade toddler snacks, and the pumpkin gives them a boost in Vitamins A and C.

How to Make Edible Pumpkin Cookie Dough
What makes this an edible pumpkin cookie dough is the fact that we donโt use any eggs โ itโs completely vegan!
I love to taste as I go, and sweeten or pumpkin-ify (thatโs a word) as necessary.
In fact, theyโre like vegan pumpkin chocolate chip cookies in dough form โ the best thing.
It could also be used as ready-to-bake pumpkin cookies, Iโm sure.
Iโd have to play around with the baking and timing since the dough is thick. But, with pumpkin, anything is possible!


To make this edible pumpkin cookie dough, all you need is a high speed blender or food processor.
I love my Ninja because it has both in one.
Just add your ingredients there and blend.
Taste as you go โ some people like it sweeter (add more maple syrup) and some like it less sweet.

Tips and Tricks
- Make sure to use pumpkin puree, NOT pumpkin pie filling. Both come in orange cans in the grocery store.
- While the ingredient list is minimal to begin with, if youโre not vegan or donโt use maple syrup, honey is a great replacement.
- If your batter seems too dry upon mixing in the high speed blender, feel free to add 1-2 tablespoons of almond milk. I usually add slowly.
- If you donโt have pumpkin pie spice, you can make your own with a blend of cinnamon, ginger, cloves and nutmeg. Or, to keep it simple, just add more cinnamon and nutmeg. Use more pumpkin pie spice for a stronger pumpkin flavor.
- You can freeze this vegan pumpkin cookie dough for later! Just store it in a glass tupperware and defrost overnight in the refrigerator when youโre ready to enjoy.
