Ingredients
Dry Ingredients:
1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
½ teaspoon nutmeg
½ teaspoon ginger
Wet Ingredients:
½ cup unsalted butter, softened
½ cup brown sugar
¼ cup granulated sugar
½ cup pumpkin puree
1 egg yolk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
S’mores Add-Ins:
1 cup chocolate chunks or chips
1 cup mini marshmallows
½ cup crushed graham crackers
Optional Add-Ins:
½ cup chopped nuts (pecans or walnuts)
½ teaspoon allspice for extra warmth
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Dough
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Mix in the pumpkin puree, egg yolk, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
Step 2: Add the S’mores Ingredients
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined—don’t overmix!
Gently stir in the chocolate chunks, mini marshmallows, and crushed graham crackers.
Step 3: Scoop and Bake
Scoop 2 tablespoons of dough per cookie onto the baking sheet, leaving space between each.
Bake for 10-12 minutes until the edges are golden brown.
Let the cookies cool on the sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack.
Step 4: Enjoy!
Serve warm for the best gooey marshmallow experience!
Notes
Use pure pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling.
Freeze the marshmallows for 10-15 minutes before adding them to the dough to prevent excessive melting.
For extra gooeyness, press a few extra marshmallows and chocolate chunks on top before baking.
Don’t overbake! The cookies should be soft when removed from the oven—they’ll firm up as they cool.
