How to make these Pumpkin S’mores Cookies?

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Put parchment paper on a baking sheet and place aside until needed.
In a large bowl, beat the softened butter with the brown sugar and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.

Thoroughly mix the pumpkin puree, egg, and vanilla extract until well blended. (You can add the optional food coloring at this stage).

In a different bowl, mix together the flower, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda and salt.

Gradually mix the dry ingredients with the wet ingredients until just combined being careful not to overmix.
Gently add the chocolate chips, mini marshmallows, and graham cracker pieces to the mixture.

Use a ½ inch cookie scoop or spoon to scoop out the cookie dough, then place onto the baking sheet about 2 inches apart. Gently press extra chocolate chips, marshmallows or graham cracker pieces on top of each cookie dough.

Bake for about 12 to 14 minutes. The edges should be golden and the center soft and tender.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a bit, then place them on a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve at room temperature. Enjoy!

Helpful Tips and Variations:

How can I replace the Graham Crackers? You can use crushed biscotti, digestive biscuits or wafers.
Is it important to soften the butter before using? Yes, your unsalted butter should be softened to room temperature, cold butter can cause dense cookies.
Can I use large marshmallows? You can use large marshmallows if you like; you can fold them inside the cookie dough for a nice gooey texture.
Can I swap the pumpkin puree for the pumpkin pie filling? It’s best to use pumpkin pie to avoid extra sweeteners and spices.

To store, place in an airtight container and separate the cookie layers with parchment paper and keep at room temperature for up to 1 week. You can also store them in the fridge or in the freezer for longer storing. They can last up to 3 months, just place them a freezer friendly container or freezer bags.
