With Autumn officially in full swing, it’s the perfect time to cosy up with these Pumpkin S’mores Cookies. A mouthwatering mashup of classic s’mores and seasonal pumpkin goodness, these cookies are not just a treat; they’re a celebration of everything we adore about the season

Why you will love this recipe:

• SEASONAL FLAVOURS | Like it or hate it but the annual Pumpkin spice trend isn’t going anywhere fast, possibly because the flavour is synonymous with the season and gets us all craving treats that feel more cosy and warming.

• GOOEY MARSHMALLOW | On their own these Pumpkin Spiced Cookies are delicious but when you add a gooey marshmallow centre, chocolate chips and crunchy graham crackers they become irresistible.

• GREAT FOR SHARING | The recipe will comfortable make 16 cookies (or 12 if you want them slightly larger) meaning they’re a great bake if you have plans to share them with friend, colleagues or family.

Ingredients:

Here’s what you’ll need to make these scrumptious Pumpkin S’mores Cookies:

Unsalted Butter | Butter adds a creamy richness to your bakes ensuring a soft and chewy cookie. Use room temperature butter so it’s easier to cream together with the sugar.

Caster Sugar & Light Brown Sugar | Caster Sugar will give the cookies sweetness and structure, whisk the light brown sugar adds a lovely caramel flavour which pairs really well with the chocolate flavour.

Pumpkin puree | Use pure pumpkin purée over pumpkin pie filling, to avoid extra spices and sweeteners.

Large Egg | use the best-quality eggs you can find and make sure they are at room temperature. Eggs provide these cookies with structure and richness.

Vanilla extract | added to the cookie mixture to compliment the flavours

Plain flour | sift your flour into the mixture for best results and to avoid lumps

Baking soda | helps give the cookie great texture and crumb

Pumpkin spices | you can buy a pre-made pumpkin spice mix or create your own by mixing Cinnamon, Ginger, Nutmeg, Cloves and allspice together.

Salt | balances and enhances all the flavours

Large marshmallows | for an extra gooey marshmallow centre use large marshmallows vs mini marshmallows.

Graham crackers | no S’mores is complete without graham crackers and this recipe uses them crushed into the dough and sprinkled on top.

Dark chocolate chips | use good quality dark or milk chocolate chips, I like the mini chips as they add great pops of chocolate flavour and mix well with the batter without sinking.

How to make the cookies:

Making the perfect marshmallow stuffed cookie is really simple and these cookies don’t need to be chilled ahead of baking.

Cream the Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. This step is crucial for creating that perfect cookie texture.

Add Pumpkin and Egg: Beat in the pumpkin puree, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined. The pumpkin not only adds flavour but also helps keep the cookies moist and chewy.

Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice, and salt. Gradually add these dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; you want to keep those cookies tender.

Fold in the Goodies: Gently fold in the crushed graham crackers and milk chocolate chips. This is where the s’mores magic happens!

Scoop and Stuff. Use a cookie scoop, scoop a ball of cookie dough then use your thumbs to flatten the ball out to create a bowl shape. Take your marshmallow and place it in the centre then fold the cookie dough around it. Roll it back into a ball and place onto a prepared baking sheet.

Pro baking tips for success!

• Soft Butter: Make sure your butter is softened to room temperature for the best texture. Cold butter can lead to dense cookies.

• Pumpkin Purée: Use pure pumpkin purée, not pumpkin pie filling, to avoid extra spices and sweeteners.

• Underbake Slightly: For an extra gooey centre, underbake the cookies just slightly and you’ll have the softest, gooiest centre ever.
