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 together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar on medium-high speed for about 5 minutes until light and fluffy.
  2. Add the eggs one at a time, ensuring each egg is well incorporated before adding the next. Follow this by adding vanilla extract and mixing for another minute.
  3. In a separate bowl, sift together flour, cornstarch, salt, baking soda, and baking powder. Gradually add this mixture to the wet ingredients while mixing on low speed until just combined.
  4. Gently fold in semi-sweet chocolate chips and Easter sprinkles using a spatula until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  5. Using a 4oz cookie scoop, portion out eight rounds of dough.
  6. Flatten each round of dough slightly. Place one Peep in the center of each flattened dough piece. Carefully wrap the dough around each Peep to fully enclose it.
  7. Chill your stuffed dough balls in the refrigerator for at least two hours (up to 48 hours) to firm them up for baking.
  8. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) while you line your baking sheets with parchment paper.
  9. Place four stuffed cookie dough balls on each lined sheet. Bake them for about 14-16 minutes or until the edges turn golden brown.
  10. Once baked, allow your cookies to cool on the tray for about 20-30 minutes so that the vegan marshmallows can set before transferring them to a wire rack.
