Recipe Ingredients:

See recipe card below this post for ingredient quantities and full instructions:

  • Unsalted Butter
  • Granulated Sugar
  • Brown Sugar – I like to use dark brown sugar for the most intense flavor possible.
  • Pumpkin Puree – Make sure to use pumpkin puree rather than canned pumpkin pie filling, which has added spices and sweeteners.
  • Egg Yolk – Using just egg yolk makes the cookies rich and soft.
  • Vanilla Extract
  • All Purpose Flour
  • Cinnamon – You can also try using pumpkin pie spice in place of cinnamon.
  • Baking Soda
  • Salt
  • Chocolate Chips – This cookie recipe uses both dark chocolate chips and chocolate bars to give the cookies tons of melted chocolate flavor!
  • Crushed Graham Crackers – You can buy a box of graham cracker crumbs, but I like to break the pieces myself so that there are some larger cracker pieces and also some crumbs.
  • Mini Marshmallows
  • Hershey Bars – You will need two large Hershey bars or several mini bars.

Directions for How to Make Pumpkin S’Mores Cookies

Step 1. Preheat your oven, and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set the baking tray aside. Then, gather all the ingredients for the cookies.

Step 2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add the pumpkin puree, egg yolk, and vanilla extract, and mix until well combined.

Step 3. In a separate medium bowl, combine the flour, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt, then stir the dry flour mixture into the wet ingredients. Fold in the milk chocolate chips, crushed graham crackers, and mini marshmallows.

Step 4. Scoop the cookie batter onto the parchment-lined pan. Press a few Hershey bar pieces and mini marshmallows into the top of each cookie dough ball. Sprinkle with the crushed graham crackers.

Variations

  • Add a sprinkle of sea salt for a sweet and salty flavor.
  • Use pumpkin spice seasoning in place of ground cinnamon for an even more classic pumpkin flavor.
  • Use a pumpkin substitute, like mashed sweet potatoes or butternut squash, if you do not have pumpkin puree on hand.
  • If you dont’ have Hershey’s bars, use chocolate chunks instead for the same thick, melted chocolate taste.

Tips for Success

  • Press the Hershey squares into the cookies immediately after baking if you want them to be extra melty.
  • For gooey marshmallow centers, press a few extra mini marshmallows onto the tops before baking.
  • Take the cookies out of the oven once the edges are brown. The centers will still be pretty soft, but this is good! It will keep the chewy pumpkin cookies soft and moist after they cool.

Storage + Reheating

  • To Store: Store the baked pumpkin cookies in an airtight container, and keep them at room temperature for up to a week.
  • To Freeze: Freeze the baked cookies in a gallon-sized zippered freezer bag for up to three months. Thaw the cookies at room temperature to serve! You can also freeze the cookie dough scoops in a freezer bag, and bake the cookies individually later on, adding a few extra minutes as needed. This is a great way to bake homemade cookies in a hurry!
