How To Make These S'mores Cookies
- Preheat the oven: Preheat oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cream the butter and sugars: Beat softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Mix in wet ingredients: Add pumpkin puree, egg, and vanilla; mix until well combined.
- Combine the dry ingredients: Whisk together flour, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice, and salt in a separate bowl.
- Mix wet and dry ingredients: Gradually add dry ingredients to wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.

Tips for Making the Perfect Pumpkin S'mores Cookies
- Make sure to use pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling. The filling contains added sugar and spices, which may throw off the balance of flavors in the cookie.
- Don't overmix your dough once you add the dry ingredients. This can result in tough cookies instead of soft and chewy ones.
- Press a few extra marshmallows on top of each cookie for an extra gooey center before baking.
Substitutions and Variations for Pumpkin S'mores Cookies
- Chocolate Variety: Swap chocolate chips for chocolate chunks or use a mix for extra chocolatey goodness.
- Spice Level: Adjust the pumpkin pie spice to your preference or add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg for extra warmth.
- Alternative Mix-ins: Mix it up with different mix-ins such as chopped nuts or dried fruit for added texture and flavor.
- Gluten-free Option: For a gluten-free version, use a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend in place of all-purpose flour.
Freezing And Storing Instructions
- To Store: Store your baked cookies in an airtight container at room temperature. They'll stay soft and chewy for up to five days.
- To Freeze: To save them longer, freeze the cookies in a single layer on a baking sheet. Once frozen, transfer them to a freezer-safe bag and store them for up to three months.
- To Reheat: For that gooey, fresh-out-of-the-oven taste, warm them up in the oven on low or pop them in the microwave for a few seconds.
