# Ingredients You'll Need:

→ Base Dough

01 - 1 cup butter that's unsalted and softened
02 - 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
03 - 1/4 cup white sugar
04 - 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
05 - 1 large egg
06 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
07 - 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
08 - 1 teaspoon baking soda
09 - 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
10 - 1/2 teaspoon salt

→ Mix-Ins

11 - 1 cup chocolate chips
12 - 1 cup mini marshmallows
13 - 8 graham crackers, broken into bits
14 - 1 teaspoon optional orange food coloring

→ Optional Toppings

15 - 1/2 cup chocolate chips
16 - mini marshmallows
17 - crushed graham crackers

# How to Make It:

01 - Get your oven warmed up to 350°F. Use parchment paper to line a baking sheet.
02 - In a big mixing bowl, beat together the softened butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until it's light and fluffy.
03 - Incorporate pumpkin puree, the large egg, and vanilla. Stir until everything’s mixed well. If you want, add a drop at a time of orange food coloring here.
04 - In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice, and salt.
05 - Slowly mix the dry ingredients into the wet blend. Stir gently just until there's no dry flour left—don’t overdo it.
06 - Gently fold in the chocolate chips, mini marshmallows, and graham cracker bits until they're well spread out in the dough.
07 - Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop mounds of dough onto the lined baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches in between each ball.
08 - Lightly push extra mini marshmallows, chocolate chips, and crushed graham crackers onto the tops of each dough mound.
09 - Pop them in the oven and bake for 12 to 14 minutes. Look for golden edges and soft centers.
10 - Let the cookies sit on the baking sheet for a few minutes before moving them to a cooling rack. Cool completely before you dig in.

# Extra Information:

01 - For marshmallows that hold their shape during baking, use vegan mini marshmallows.
02 - Use a little orange food coloring for a fun festive look; just a tiny bit goes a long way.
03 - Let cookies rest on the baking sheet first since they're fragile when hot.
