How to Prepare Dark Chocolate Pumpkin Gingersnaps [Vegan]

Preheat oven to 350°F. Line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the flours, baking powder, baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt and cornstarch. Set aside.
In a bowl with either a stand mixer fitted with a paddle or with a handheld mixer, beat together the coconut oil and brown sugar. The mixture should be fairly smooth and there should be very few chunks of coconut oil. Beat in the pumpkin and vanilla extract. Beat on low to medium until everything comes together and looks fairly smooth. Add in the dry mixture with the flours and just mix until no flour streaks remain. Don't overmix! If you do, you will get tough cookies.
Fold in the grated ginger and dark chocolate. Scoop the dough onto the lined cookie sheets, about 1-2 tablespoons per cookie.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until cookies are a light brown. Allow to cool a bit before serving.
