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 vegan marshmallows
Instructions
- In a stand mixer, cream together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Beat on medium-high speed for about 5 minutes until light and fluffy.
- Add the large eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then add the vanilla extract and run the mixer for another minute to combine.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, salt, baking soda, and baking powder. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients in the stand mixer while running on low speed until just combined.
- Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips and Easter sprinkles until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Use a 4oz scoop to portion out eight rounds of cookie dough. Flatten each round slightly, place a Peep vegan marshmallow in the center, then wrap the dough around it completely to enclose it.
- Place your stuffed dough balls on a tray and chill them in the refrigerator for at least two hours (you can chill them up to 48 hours if desired).
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) while you line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Bake four cookies per sheet for about 14–16 minutes or until edges are golden brown.
- Allow cookies to cool on the tray for about 20–30 minutes before moving them to a wire rack.
