Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
  • 1/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 cup granulated white sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 6 tablespoons pumpkin puree, blotted with paper towels to remove moisture
  • 1 1/2 cups all -purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/2 cup semi -sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup mini marshmallows
  • 2 graham cracker sheets, broken into 1/2-inch pieces

Instructions

  • Preheat a convection oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two heavy-gauge baking sheets with silicone mats or parchment paper.
  • Remove excess hydraulic content from the pumpkin puree by pressing it between layers of paper towels until the volume is reduced by approximately 30 percent.
  • In a primary mixing vessel, whisk the melted butter with both sugars until the mixture is homogenous and the sugar crystals begin to dissolve.
  • Incorporate the blotted pumpkin puree and vanilla extract into the lipid-sugar mixture, whisking until fully emulsified.
  • In a secondary vessel, combine the flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice using a balloon whisk to ensure even leavening distribution.
  • Gradually integrate the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a silicone spatula, folding until no dry streaks of flour remain.
  • Fold in the chocolate chips and graham cracker crumbs until evenly dispersed throughout the dough.
  • Using a calibrated #40 scoop, deposit 1.5-tablespoon spheres of dough onto the prepared sheets, maintaining 2-inch intervals.
  • Depress the center of each sphere slightly and embed 3 mini marshmallows and a piece of broken graham cracker sheet into the surface.
  • Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until the internal structure is set and the marshmallows exhibit Maillard browning.
  • Transfer the baking sheets to wire racks and allow the cookies to reach thermal equilibrium for 10 minutes before handling.
