Vegan Pumpkin Cookies

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.

Whisk flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl; set aside.

Beat brown sugar and coconut oil in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment on medium-high speed until creamy, about 2 minutes. Reduce speed to medium; beat in pumpkin, maple syrup and vanilla until just combined, about 1 minute. Reduce speed to low; beat in the flour mixture until just combined, about 1 minute. Stir in chocolate chips. Using 2 tablespoons per cookie, drop mounds of the dough onto the prepared pan, at least 3 inches apart.

Bake the cookies until just set, 9 to 10 minutes. Let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely, about 15 minutes. Sprinkle with sea salt. Repeat with the remaining dough.
