How to Make Pumpkin S’mores Cookies

Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cream the Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, beat butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Add Pumpkin and Wet Ingredients: Mix in pumpkin puree, egg, vanilla, and food coloring (if using) until smooth.
Mix Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice, and salt.
Combine: Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
Add the Mix-Ins: Fold in chocolate chips, marshmallows, and graham cracker pieces.
Shape and Decorate: Scoop tablespoon-sized dough balls and place them 2 inches apart. Press extra chocolate chips, marshmallows, and graham bits on top of each ball for that bakery-style finish.
Bake: Bake for 12–14 minutes, until edges are golden and centers are just set.
Cool: Let cookies rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Tips for Baking the Perfect Pumpkin S’mores Cookies

Use chilled pumpkin puree to help maintain a chewy texture.
Don’t overbake! The cookies will continue to set as they cool.
Add a pinch of cinnamon to the dough for an extra layer of cozy spice.
For gooier marshmallows, press a few extras into the tops halfway through baking.

A Sweet Fall Twist on a Classic Treat

These pumpkin s’mores cookies were born out of a craving for something both nostalgic and new. I made them for a bonfire night one October, and they were gone before the hot cocoa even finished brewing. Now, they’re a seasonal tradition in our home, bringing all the marshmallow-chocolate-graham joy of summer with the cozy hug of fall flavors.

What to Serve with These S’mores Dessert Cookies

Pair them with a mug of hot cider, a pumpkin spice latte, or a glass of cold milk. They also make the perfect sweet treat for fall parties, Halloween movie nights, or a festive Thanksgiving dessert spread.

How to Store and Enjoy Later

Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days. To revive that gooey magic, warm them for 10 seconds in the microwave before serving. You can also freeze the dough balls for up to 2 months and bake straight from frozen (just add a minute or two to the bake time).

FAQs

Can I use fresh pumpkin puree?

Yes, but make sure it’s well-drained to avoid a too-soft dough.

Can I make these gluten-free?

Use a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend and gluten-free graham crackers.

Why are my marshmallows melting into the cookies?

Mini marshmallows melt fast—press extras on top after shaping or halfway through baking for best results.

Are these cookies soft or crunchy?

They’re soft and chewy with crisp edges—perfect for a cookie sandwich or dunking.
