Pumpkin S'mores Cookies
(makes about 30 cookies)
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup coconut oil
1 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
1/2 cup pumpkin puree
1/2 tsp. vanilla
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
½ tsp. nutmeg
2 1/2 cups whole wheat flour (+ extra for rolling)
Chocolate chips
Mini marshmallows
Raw brown sugar for topping
Preheat oven to 350. Combine sugar, coconut oil, and butter, then mix in the eggs, vanilla, and pumpkin puree. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Combine the wet and dry ingredients, then wrap dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 3 hours.
Flour a flat surface for rolling the dough out on. Take a section of the dough, and roll out onto the floured surface with a rolling pin into a rectangle about 1/4" thick. Spread chocolate chips and mini marshmallows onto the dough like shown below.
Roll the dough into a log.
Slice roll into slices about 1" thick, then spread onto ungreased baking sheet about an inch apart. Sprinkle some of the raw sugar on top of each cookie. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until slightly browned on top. Allow to cool before serving.
Now, as awesome as these cookies look, I was a little disappointed. I thought dough was too doughy, and the pumpkin flavor was too subtle. This may have something to do with my using whole wheat flour or omitting the ginger, but I really don't think that should've made a huge difference. Also, the marshmallows practically completely dissolved into the cookies, which may have been because they were a cheap brand, perhaps? Honestly, I don't know. I followed the recipe to a tee except for the slight ingredient changes, but what I changed shouldn't have changed the cookies flavor too much I feel, but what do you think? I'm not the most experienced baker, maybe I did miss something...

ReplyDeleteYour cookies look yummy!!
Wow those look delish!! Thanks for sharing the recipe!
ReplyDeleteWell they sound great :-)
ReplyDeleteIt can be rather annoying when something doesn't turn out quiet right and you're not sure why can't it!
I think you made some interesting changes to the recipe. I've actually never baked cookies with coconut oil, so I don't have a very good sense of how it might affect the flavor. Also, I suspect the whole wheat flour may have had something to do with it.
ReplyDeleteAnd I like when the marshmallows melt in!
Great post! Thanks for linking back!
Yeah, you may be right about the whole wheat flour. That may have been what made them taste less pumpkiny, but I am still wondering why they were so "doughy". Oh, well. We ate them up anyway! Thanks again for the recipe, I will visit your blog again :)
DeleteThese cookies look great! Thank you so much Jessica for featuring my cupcakes along with these lovely features. Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteThank you Jessica soooooooooo much for featuring my Apple Honey Challah, and for the compliment - appreciate it a lot!:)
ReplyDeleteI love your pumpkin smores cookies! I think these cookies are very unique, and we LOVE marshmallow :)
The melted marshallow and chips on the top make the cookies look super delicious. Thanks for sharing them on foodie friday.
ReplyDeleteI wondered about the taste of marshmallow with the pumpkin, but maybe since the pumpkin was not strong it tasted ok...I love smores cookies though!
