Vegan Old-Fashioned Soft Pumpkin Cookies

These are so good, I had to put the pictures up and write about them immediately...while I'm still eating them...fresh out of the oven and with Green Mountain Pumpkin Spice Coffee!  I'm also watching the Friends Thanksgiving episode where they all play football.  Can I BE any happier right now?

This is all sorts of pumpkin goodness.  I brought some to W while he was working in the garage and he had to take a break to come inside and enjoy more with me, they're so good! 

Here is the recipe from food.com:
