  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: About 8 large cookies 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 sticks unsalted butter (room temperature)
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ¾ cup brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • ¾ tsp salt
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • ½ cup Easter sprinkles
  • 1 package (6-8 count) Peep brand Easter vegan marshmallows

Instructions

  1. In a stand mixer, cream the room temperature butter with granulated sugar and brown sugar on medium-high speed for about five minutes until light and fluffy.
  2. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well before adding the next. Incorporate the vanilla extract and mix for an additional minute.
  3. Sift together flour, cornstarch, salt, baking soda, and baking powder. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients at low speed until just combined.
  4. Fold in semi-sweet chocolate chips and Easter sprinkles until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  5. Using a 4oz scoop, portion out eight dough rounds. Flatten each round slightly and place a Peep vegan marshmallow in its center.
  6. Wrap the cookie dough around each Peep completely, ensuring it is fully enclosed.
  7. Chill the stuffed dough balls in the refrigerator for at least two hours or up to forty-eight hours.
  8. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line your baking sheets with parchment paper.
  9. Arrange four cookies per sheet and bake for about fourteen to sixteen minutes or until the edges are golden brown.
  10. Allow cookies to cool on the tray for twenty to thirty minutes before moving to a wire rack.
