Ingredient Notes
- Pumpkin Puree: The only ingredient listed on the back of the can should be pumpkin. Pumpkin pie mix is not the same. It has added sugar and spices which will make the cookie dough too sweet.
- Pumpkin Pie Spice: You will find this on the spice/seasoning aisle at the grocery store. You can also make your own pumpkin pie spice.

Instructions
Overview
- Combine wet ingredients and spices.
- Fold in graham cracker crumbs.
- Fold in mini chocolate chips and marshmallows.
Step by Step
Step 1: Pulse the graham crackers into a fine crumb in a large food processor.
Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk, pumpkin, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, and salt. Whisk until smooth.
TIP - Be sure to pulse until the graham crackers are completely broken up.
Step 3: Pour all of the graham cracker crumbs into the sweetened condensed milk mixture. Fold until about half of the crumbs are combined.
Step 4: Add the marshmallows and chocolate chips. Continue folding until well combined. Enjoy immediately or chill for 2 hours for a firmer consistency.
Make Ahead & Storage
- Refrigerator: Store in the fridge in an airtight container for 3-4 days. The dough will continue to harden as it is refrigerated. Remove from the fridge 15-30 minutes before serving if needed to soften.
- Freezer: I do not recommend freezing the cookie dough.
- Make Ahead: Since this edible pumpkin cookie dough stays good in the refrigerator for up to 4 days, it can easily be made in advance and served later.
Expert Tips
- Pulse the graham crackers completely. The graham cracker should have an extremely fine texture, similar to flour.
- Chill the dough. While the dough is tasty immediately after mixing, I recommend chilling the dough for a firmer texture.
- Serve with extra chocolate chips & marshmallows on top. Not only does this look pretty, but it also adds even more texture.
Recipe Notes
- The dough is not meant to be baked. Since this is an edible cookie dough recipe, the recipe was not created with baking in mind. There are no binding or leavening agents. I have never tried to bake it, but I can’t imagine it would turn out.
Variations
- Roll the dough. You can scoop the dough and roll it into the balls to make pumpkin cookie dough bites instead. I recommend doing this before chilling. Chill the balls so they can set and hold their shape.
- Dip the bites in chocolate. After you form the dough into balls, put them into the freezer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for 20-30 minutes. Dip in melted chocolate and pop them back in the fridge to set.
- Serve as a dip. If you want to serve the cookie dough room temperature, it will be soft enough to serve as a cookie dough dip. You can use graham crackers or other cookies for dipping. You can also use 2-3 less graham crackers for an ever thinner consistency.
- Gluten Free: I have not tested it, but I imagine you could easily swap regular graham crackers for gluten free to make this edible pumpkin cookie dough gluten free.
FAQs
Yes. Generally edible cookie dough is made without eggs and with heat treated flour to remove the risk of food borne illness. If cookie dough is not labeled edible, it is unsafe to consume raw.
