Description
Chewy, gooey Pumpkin Spice Magic Cookie Bars layer a buttery graham cracker crust with creamy spiced pumpkin, coconut, walnuts, chocolate chips, and pumpkin spice morsels.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk
- 1/3 cup pumpkin puree
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
- 1 cup sweetened flaked coconut
- 1 cup chopped walnuts
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup pumpkin spice morsels
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 9-by-13-inch baking pan, or line it with foil and coat the foil lightly with nonstick cooking spray.
- Melt the butter in a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl.
- Stir the graham cracker crumbs into the melted butter until evenly moistened.
- Press the crumb mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan.
- Whisk the sweetened condensed milk, pumpkin puree, cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice in a medium bowl until smooth.
- Pour the pumpkin mixture evenly over the graham cracker crust.
- Sprinkle the coconut, walnuts, chocolate chips, and pumpkin spice morsels evenly over the pumpkin layer.
- Press the toppings gently into the pumpkin mixture with clean hands or a flat spatula.
- Bake for 25 minutes, or until the edges look set and the coconut turns light golden brown.
- Place the pan on a wire rack and cool the bars completely before slicing into 16 squares.
Notes
- Use pure pumpkin puree rather than sweetened pumpkin pie filling.
- Press the graham cracker crust firmly so the cooled bars hold together.
- Toast the walnuts for five to seven minutes for deeper flavor.
- Let the bars cool completely before slicing.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to five days.
- Freeze individually wrapped bars for up to two months.
