Ingredients
- 1 cup pumpkin puree (not pie filling)
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chunks or chips
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- 1/2 cup graham cracker pieces
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the pumpkin puree, egg yolk, and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Fold in the chocolate chunks, marshmallows, and graham cracker pieces, making sure they’re evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Chill the dough in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to help the cookies hold their shape while baking.
- Scoop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving space between each one. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden and the centers are just set. Do not overbake to ensure a gooey middle.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- If you prefer a more gooey marshmallow center, gently press a few marshmallows into the tops of the dough balls before baking.
- For a gluten-free version, substitute a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend and use gluten-free graham crackers.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
