Ingredients
- 2½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- ½ teaspoon salt (plus optional cinnamon, nutmeg, as desired)
- ¾ cup (1½ sticks) unsalted butter, melted (or softened)
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup pumpkin puree, blotted if you’d like a chewier texture
- 1 large egg (or egg yolk for extra richness)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet or mix your favorite types)
- ¾–1 cup graham cracker pieces or crumbs
- 10–20 marshmallows—mini or large halved, depending on texture preference
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 °F (175 °C). Line baking sheets with parchment or silicone mats.
- Whisk together flour, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice, and salt (add cinnamon or nutmeg if using).
- In a bowl, mix melted butter with brown and granulated sugars until smooth. Add pumpkin puree, egg (or yolk), and vanilla, stirring until combined.
- Stir dry ingredients into wet just until no streaks of flour remain. Don’t overmix.
- Gently fold in chocolate chips, graham cracker pieces/crumbs, and marshmallows.
- Scoop dough (use a small to medium cookie scoop) onto baking sheets, spacing about 2″ apart. Press extra toppings on top if you like.
- Bake for 12–15 minutes until edges are lightly golden but centers still soft.
- Let cookies rest on the sheet for ~5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to set.
Notes
Chewy vs. cakey: Blot the pumpkin puree before using for a less moist, chewier cookie; skip the blotting for a cakier texture.
Marshmallow placement: Nest marshmallows within graham cracker surroundings to contain their ooze as it bakes.
Mix-ins: Try white chocolate chips or chunks for variation.
Extra flavor boost: Add graham cracker extract for an enhanced s’mores aroma (optional).
No mixer needed: Many recipes work fine with just a whisk and spoon.
