Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and ground ginger. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened vegan butter and granulated sugar together until creamy and well combined, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the pumpkin puree, vanilla extract, and unsweetened almond milk to the butter-sugar mixture. Mix until fully incorporated.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing slowly until a dough is formed. Do not overmix.
Scoop tablespoon-sized amounts of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown and the tops are set.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
Once cooled, store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
