Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
  • ¾ cup brown sugar, packed
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup pumpkin puree
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • 1 cup mini marshmallows
  • 8 graham crackers, broken into small pieces
  • 1 teaspoon orange food coloring (optional)
  • ½ cup chocolate chips (optional topping)
  • Mini marshmallows (optional topping)
  • Crushed graham crackers (optional topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the pumpkin puree, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined. Add orange food coloring at this step if using.
  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 ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Gently fold in the chocolate chips, mini marshmallows, and graham cracker pieces.
  7. Using a small cookie scoop or spoon, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  8. Top each dough ball with extra marshmallows, chocolate chips, and/or graham cracker pieces as desired.
  9. Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 14 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the centers are still soft.
  10. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  11. Serve the cookies at room temperature and enjoy!

Notes

  • For a more vibrant orange color, add food coloring to the wet mixture.
  • Don’t overbake—the centers should remain soft for the best texture.
  • Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
  • These cookies can be stored in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
