Main Ingredients
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- Prepare the Dough: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth and fluffy. Beat in the egg and pumpkin puree until fully combined.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined to form a smooth dough.
- Add Chocolate and Marshmallows: Fold in the chocolate chips and mini marshmallows gently, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Scoop and Shape: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing each about 2 inches apart.
- Bake the Cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the edges are set and just beginning to turn golden, and the cookies look firm but soft in the center.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. The marshmallows will be soft and slightly melted, creating a perfect s’mores effect.
Notes
- For an extra gooey texture, press a few extra marshmallows and chocolate chips onto the top of each cookie before baking.
- Use fresh pumpkin puree for best flavor; canned pumpkin puree also works well.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
