Preparation

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, brown sugar, molasses, egg and maple extract until smooth and evenly combined, about 2 minutes.
  3. Add the self-rising flour and pumpkin pie spice and use a rubber spatula to incorporate the dry ingredients.
  4. Cover and refrigerate the dough for at least 1 hour (or up to 3 days) until chilled and firm.
  5. Scoop about 2-3 tablespoons of dough and flatten it in your hand. Place a marshmallow in the center and wrap the dough around it, sealing the edges.
  6. Roll each dough ball in turbinado sugar to coat.
  7. Place cookies 2 inches apart on the baking sheet. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until the edges are set and the marshmallow is just starting to peek through. Watch the cookies very carefully - if you bake too long the marshmallows will melt and totally disappear into the cookie. It happens fast!
  8. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
  9. Enjoy!
