1 cup plant-based stick margarine
1 cup sugar
1 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup aquafaba
1 cup pumpkin puree
2 tsp vanilla

2 cups Lily Semi-sweet chips (stevia sweetened, dairy free)

Directions:
Preheat the oven at 350
Whisk together the dry ingredients
Using a mixer blend the wet ingredients
Slowly add the dry to the wet and mix. When all is incorporated, fold in the chips.
Place cookie scoop, ~1 TBS, on silicon mat lined cookie sheets, place cookie sheet in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes.
