Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup creamy unsweetened almond butter
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup pumpkin puree
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
- 1/4 packed cup almond flour
- 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
Add-ins
- 1/2 cup vegan mini marshmallows
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips or chunks
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, use a wooden spoon to mix together the almond butter, light brown sugar, pumpkin puree, vanilla extract, and egg until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking soda, and salt to evenly distribute the leavening and spices.
- Mix Wet and Dry: Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients bowl and stir gently until all components are fully incorporated into a uniform dough. Then carefully fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips.
- Prepare Cookies with Marshmallows: Place 2 to 3 vegan mini marshmallows into your cookie scoop before scooping up the dough, ensuring the marshmallows sit on top but are embedded slightly in the cookie dough for a gooey center.
- Portion on Baking Sheet: Drop the cookie dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet spaced apart. Optionally, sprinkle additional chocolate chips or chunks on top of each cookie to enhance chocolate flavor and texture.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes until the cookies are set and lightly golden around the edges.
- Cool and Serve: Remove cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy your pumpkin s’mores cookies warm or at room temperature.
