Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine softened unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Cream on medium speed until light and fluffy (2-3 minutes).
  3. Mix in the pumpkin puree, egg, and vanilla extract into your creamed mixture. Add orange food coloring if desired.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking soda, pumpkin pie spice, and salt. Gradually add to wet ingredients, stirring gently.
  5. Fold in the chocolate chips, mini marshmallows, and graham cracker pieces.
  6. Drop balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spaced about 2 inches apart. Sprinkle with extra mini marshmallows, chocolate chips, and graham cracker bits if desired.
  7. Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until edges are golden brown and centers remain soft.
  8. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
