# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 -
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
03 -
Beat in the pumpkin puree, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined. Add the orange food coloring if using.
04 -
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice, and salt.
05 -
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
06 -
Gently fold in the chocolate chips, mini marshmallows, and graham cracker pieces.
07 -
Using a small cookie scoop or spoon, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
08 -
Top each cookie dough ball by pressing in a few extra marshmallows, chocolate chips, and/or pieces of graham crackers.
09 -
Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 14 minutes, or until the edges are golden but the center is still 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.
11 -
Serve the pumpkin s'mores cookies at room temperature.
# Additional Notes:
01 -
If you like marshmallows but don’t want them to melt into the cookie dough, use vegan mini marshmallows which tend to hold their shape when heated.
02 -
A little orange food coloring goes a long way. Add it sparingly if using.
03 -
Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
