Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a nonstick mat. Blot the pumpkin with a lint-free towel or paper towel to remove the extra liquid.
Melt the vegan butter in the microwave for about 25 seconds.
In a large bowl, stir together the melted vegan butter with the cane sugar, brown sugar, pumpkin purée, and vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk the flour, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, salt, and baking soda together.
Add the dry-ingredient mixture to the wet-ingredient bowl and fold everything together. Stir the chocolate chips into the dough.
Scoop out heaps of cookie dough that are about the size of 2 tablespoons each. Roll them into balls with your hands and place them onto the cookie sheet about 2 inches apart. Press them down to flatten them to about 1/2 of an inch thick. Add some more chocolate chips to the tops of the cookies.
Bake the cookies for 9-11 minutes. Remove them as soon as the edges start to look firm. Try not to overbake them unless you want crispier cookies.
