Let’s Make it Together

Preheat Your Oven : Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper for easy clean-up.

Create the Cookie Dough : In a large bowl, combine all-purpose flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt. Mix well until evenly combined.

Cream Butter and Sugars : In another bowl, cream together softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy—about 3-5 minutes should do.

Add Pumpkin & Eggs : Mix in pumpkin puree and vanilla extract until fully incorporated. Then add eggs one at a time; blend until smooth.

Combine Dry Ingredients : Gradually add your dry flour mixture to the wet ingredients. Fold gently but thoroughly until no streaks remain.

Add Tasty Add-ins : Gently fold in chocolate chips, mini marshmallows, and graham cracker crumbs until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Scoop & Bake : Use a cookie scoop or spoon to drop dough onto prepared baking sheets about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until edges are golden brown but centers remain soft.

Let them cool slightly on the baking sheet before transferring to wire racks—trust me; patience pays off here!

Embrace cozy evenings filled with laughter as each bite transports you back to those cherished moments around a fire pit, even if you’re just sitting on your couch enjoying Netflix! add a refreshing Cranberry Pecan Salad.
