Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup pumpkin puree
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
- 1/4 cup flour
- 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Add-ins
- 1/2 cup mini marshmallows
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips or chunks
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat oven to 375 F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prepare for baking.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine peanut butter, brown sugar, pumpkin puree, vanilla extract, and egg. Mix well until the batter is smooth and fully combined.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda, and salt to evenly distribute the leavening and spices.
- Mix Dry into Wet: Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and stir until just incorporated. Fold in the chocolate chips gently to distribute evenly.
- Add Marshmallows and Portion Dough: Place 2 to 3 mini marshmallows into each cookie scoop or rounded tablespoon, then scoop cookie batter over the marshmallows so they sit on top but remain mixed in. Place dough portions onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Optional Topping: Sprinkle extra chocolate chips or chunks on top of each cookie if desired for added chocolate flavor and texture.
- Bake Cookies: Bake for 12 minutes in the preheated oven until edges are set and slightly golden.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the cookies cool slightly before enjoying the gooey, seasonal treat.
Notes
- Use creamy peanut butter for smoother texture; crunchy peanut butter may change the cookie texture.
- If you want a gluten-free version, substitute the flour with a 1:1 gluten-free baking flour blend.
- Ensure pumpkin puree is plain with no added sugars or spices for best results.
- Mini marshmallows can be substituted with regular-sized cut into smaller pieces.
- Do not overmix the dough to keep cookies tender.
- Cooling cookies on the baking sheet ensures the marshmallows set slightly and prevents sticking.
