Recipe: Pumpkin S’mores Cookies

Ingredients:

• 1 egg (large)
• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 3/4 cup brown sugar (packed)
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup chocolate chips
• 1 cup mini marshmallows
• 8 graham crackers, broken into small pieces
• 1 teaspoon food coloring (orange, optional)
• 1/2 cup extra chocolate chips (optional)
• Marshmallows (for garnish)
• Crushed graham crackers (for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, beat together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until fluffy.
3. Stir in the pumpkin puree, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined. If you're adding orange food coloring for a festive touch, mix it in now.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice, and salt.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring just until combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the cookies tough.
6. Gently fold in the chocolate chips, mini marshmallows, and broken graham crackers, ensuring they're evenly distributed throughout the dough.
7. Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing the cookies about 2 inches apart.
8. Add extra chocolate chips, marshmallows, and crushed graham crackers on top of each cookie for a more pronounced s’mores effect.
9. Bake for 12 to 14 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are golden brown but the centers remain soft.
10. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

The Perfect Fall Treat

Pumpkin S’mores Cookies are more than just a dessert—they're a celebration of the season. Their warm, spicy pumpkin base combined with the gooey marshmallows and rich chocolate will make you feel like you're sitting around a cozy campfire on a crisp autumn evening.
