Hi, thank you for the the recipe. I'm dying to try this out but I was wondering if is it possible to substitute corn meal with almond meal instead?
Diane says
I'm not vegan but I love trying vegan recipes. These cookies were sooo good,not too sweet with amazing soft chewy texture! I used regular butter and they turned out just fine, definitely give these a shot!!

A little cakey but delicious!

I added a few tbsp more of flour to the corn cookie, I found the mixture a tad loose (probably didn't dry my corn very well). The cookie result was soft and chewy and delicious 😋

Becky says
This recipe is great & super easy. The cookies turned out more like a cross between a cookie & a muffin (but delicious just the same!) and the flavor combo was like cornbread meets pumpkin roll with chocolate chips — so good! Making a double-batch next time 🙂

Such a creative recipe that I HAD to do it when I saw it. The pumpkin flavor is subtle but if you want more then add a bit more pumpkin. But the cookies are soooo soft and I love the flavor of corn, really like a corn bread. I had to make two batches because the first batch wasn’t enough!!

I made this for my family for Canadian thanksgiving and they loved it! I just used regular butter instead of vegan, and it still turned out great! Thank you for the recipe:)

I've never thought of combining corn and pumpkin together but these cookies are so delish! my cookies came out very chewy with a slight fluffy texture, soooo yummy and comforting! definitely one of my fave vegan cookies!

I jumped on this recipe as I love corn bread and pumpkin!
The flavour combo is out of this world if you are lover of sweet and savory.
I found that cup measurement and gram measurements are quite different so I advise you stick to one to one type when following the recipe.
My Corn cookie dough was bit sticky so I added more flour and corn meal. The pumpkin dough was perfect! (followed gram, for corn cookie dough I followed cup measurement).
I wasn't sure if I needed to press down the cookie dough or not after combining the two doughs together... so I just pressed down slightly and turn out fine.
Definitely going to making this again! My family loves it too!

I really enjoyed the combination of the corn with the pumpkin. It was a nice cookie that was not too sweet. Will be making them again.

This is the best pumpkin cookies I made and my husband loves it so much! Thank you so much for the recipes.

Jessie Nelson says
These cookies were delicious! I ended up adding a bit more cornmeal and flour to the corn cookie dough and it turned out perfect! Also, I sprinkled in some pieces of corn into the dough as well. For the pumpkin cookies, I added pecans to the dough. Together the cookies tasted amazing, like holiday cornbread and pumpkin pie all condensed into one bite. And the best part, since it’s vegan, I can eat as much cookie dough as I want without worry!

I made the corn part of the cookie (not a pumpkin fan) and they were so good omg. The flavor of the sweet corn and the chocolate paired so well together. My cookies didn’t come out the same as in the pictures, but I think I know the mistakes I made, so I would love to try and make them again! They tasted like a cornbread muffin mixed with a ccc 😉

These were a huge hit when I made them as holiday gifts last year. I did leave off the chocolate bc I had other chocolate cookies I made along with them but they were still incredible. I dream of them and will be making them again and again for sure. How can you go wrong with two incredible flavors in one??
