Giant Single Serve Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookie (Vegan)

October 6, 2021 by Jillian Leave a Comment

Jump to Recipe

This single serving chocolate chip cookie is the perfect fall treat for one. A soft-baked giant vegan pumpkin chocolate chip cookie that’s as easy as it is delicious!

I am so excited to share this recipe with you! I love a big bakery-style cookie and this is an even more exaggeratedly large version of those irresistible cookies that are always on display and never vegan. I like to think of this as a single serving cookie to enjoy by yourself or the perfect cookie to split in half and share. Baker’s choice, but honestly you might want to just go ahead and multiply the ingredients and make more than one because it’s just so good.

In this vegan cookie recipe, the pumpkin acts not only as an egg replacer. I also add a tiny bit of pumpkin pie spice and plenty of chocolate chips for a chocolate chip cookie that feels both classic and seasonal. If you were to leave out the pumpkin spice, I don’t think that this cookie would feel too pumpkin-y, so I think even pumpkin skeptics would appreciate this giant single serving chocolate chip cookie.

Pumpkin is very moist and has less fat or protein than egg, so while it acts as an egg replacer, it also results in a nice soft tender cookie as opposed to a very crispy or crunchy cookie. If you cook it to the longer end of the recommended bake time, you’ll have a firmer and chewier cookie, but if you cook it for a shorter time, it will be very soft and almost pillowy in texture.


How to make a giant vegan cookie for one

If you’re craving a cookie but literally just one perfect cookie, this is the best easy recipe to throw together. Pumpkin puree, vegan butter, sugar, and vanilla make up the wet ingredients, and you’ll mix them together until very smooth and creamy. Next you’ll add the dry ingredients mix until a cookie dough forms, then add the chocolate chips. While the oven is preheating, the dough will chill in the freezer to make it easier to shape into a cookie.

Once you’ve formed your cookie on the pan, it will bake for 15-20 minutes depending on how soft you prefer your cookie. That’s it! I like to top my cookie with a few more chocolate chips straight out of the oven as well as a generous sprinkle of flaky salt.

Thanks so much for stopping by! I hope you enjoy this giant vegan cookie. I had so much fun creating it for you! I love seeing when you make my recipes- you can find me on instagram @plantandsoulkitchen xo Jillian

Giant Single Serve Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookie (Vegan)

This single serving chocolate chip cookie is the perfect fall treat for one. One soft-baked giant vegan pumpkin chocolate chip cookie that’s as easy as it is delicious!

  • Author: Jillian Walmer

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tbsp vegan butter, room temperature
  • 2 tbsp pumpkin puree
  • 2 tbsp light brown sugar
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
  • 6 tbsp all purpose flour
  • 1/4 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/8 tsp sea salt
  • 1/8 tsp baking soda
  • 1/8 tsp baking powder
  • 3 tbsp mini chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the vegan butter, pumpkin puree, sugar, and vanilla extract until very smooth and creamy.
  2. Add the flour, pumpkin pie spice, salt, baking soda, and baking powder and mix with a wooden spoon until well combined. If it feels very sticky, add a pinch or two of flour. Don’t add too much more flour- it will be less sticky after the dough chills. 
  3. Stir in the chocolate chips and transfer the dough to the freezer for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 375. 
  4. After the dough has chilled, use your hands to form it into a cookie shape on a lined baking sheet. I made mine around 4 inches in diameter because I was looking for a thick pillowy cookie texture. If you make it thinner and larger, it will probably need to cook less and be a little less soft. 
  5. Bake for 18-22 minutes depending on the size of your cookie. I usually keep an eye on the cookie starting at 18 minutes and take it out when it’s no longer wet and springy at the top and the edges are slightly browned.
  6. Let the cookie cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before enjoying.

📖 ☕️ 🎃
A few books I hope to get to in September from my physical TBR 📚
It’s been a summer of quiet solo porch reading with my tomato plants. Since my porch faces west, it’s pretty cool until mid-afternoon even on 90+ degree days.
Love me a good twisted heroine.
I stacked my physical TBR in my non-functional fireplace and I kind of love it 😍 But it makes me want to paint the bricks white.
This summer I’ve been in a serious creativity slump when it comes to cooking and creating new recipes. Sometimes cooking just feels like a chore, ya know? It’s all good, I’ve been focusing more of my time on putting a dent in the ol’ to-be-read pile instead. 📚⁣
When you stop putting all/any of your self worth into Instagram, it becomes so much more fun to actually share and connect 🙃
Chaotic chocolate drizzle energy + arguably too much flaky salt.⁣
Sourdough Saturdays 🍞⁣
Pittsburgh finally has a real all-vegan bakery. I’m talking one with a clean and bright storefront that doesn’t make me want to turn around and never eat a donut again (IYKYK). ⁣
My dad grew these beauties
Juicy little book haul + a few of the library books I’ve been devouring lately 🤗 📚 📖 ⁣
Showing off a few of my 5⭐️ reads from this year before we get too far past the halfway point of the year! I am a library book lover and a lender of the books I own and love most, so unfortunately many of the books I’ve rated 5⭐️ this year are no longer in my possession. In particular, I’d like to mention Purple Hibiscus by @chimamanda_adichie which is possibly the best book I’ve read this year. I loaned my copy to a friend at the start of quarantine so it wasn’t available for the photoshoot 📖
Last three//next three 📚 ⁣
Let something ordinary arrest you with its beauty today. If you can lie awake for hours drowning in fear, you can let one moment consume you with joy or at least surprise that life can be so sweet. ⁣
Just the dreamiest at-home cardamom vanilla latte 🥰 I added a pinch of sea salt and cardamom to the coffee grounds before brewing as well as a dash of vanilla in the milk while frothing. Such a tasty afternoon pick me up (because apparently now I drink coffee any time of day 🙃)⁣
In college I ate oatmeal with banana and peanut butter every single morning, alongside a cup of hot tea or coffee. That’s hundreds of bowls of the exact same oatmeal I’ve eaten in my life. And it still hasn’t gotten old 😆⁣
