Pumpkin Spice Cookies


 If you're feeling like a seasonal treat, I demand that you make this cookie!  So many variations!  The package instructions are just a base...add some white chocolate chips to make these cookies unforgettable!

1 package Krusteaz Pumpkin Spice Quick Bread
1 stick (or 1/2 cup) Earth Balance
1 tbsp ground flaxseed (w/3 tbsp water) *egg replacement
1 tsp vanilla extract

1: Preheat oven to 350
2: Mix egg replacement (1 tbsp flaxseed meal/3 tbsp water) and let sit until flaxseed is absorbed
3: Add pumpkin spice mix, soften Earth Balance and vanilla extract and mix well
4: Scoop dough onto cookie sheet using 1 tbsp measurements.  If you'd like a thinner wafer-like cookie, flatten them before putting them into the oven.
5: Bake for 8-10 minutes until bottom of cookie is slightly browned.  Mine needed the entire 10 minutes and baked perfectly

6: For convenience sake, I used Duncan Hines Creamy Home-Style Cream Cheese (other processed frostings have milk in them, so be careful to read the label!)  I like to add a tsp of almond extract and whip the frosting to give it a creamier texture


7: Set aside to cool completely before frosting. 
A perfect Autumn treat! :)
