Ingredients
  

For the Cookie Dough
  • 1 cup Unsalted Butter (room temperature) Provides richness and moisture; make sure it’s soft for easy creaming.
  • 1 cup Granulated Sugar Adds sweetness and creates crisp edges; can use coconut sugar for a lower glycemic index.
  • 1 cup Brown Sugar Contributes chewiness and depth of flavor due to molasses content; light or dark can be used interchangeably.
  • 2 large Eggs (room temperature) Acts as a binder for moisture and consistency; always use room temperature to avoid curdling.
  • 1 tbsp Vanilla Extract Enhances flavor; can substitute with almond extract for a different profile.
  • 1 tsp Baking Soda Provides leavening for rise; ensure it is fresh for best results.
  • 1 tsp Baking Powder Provides leavening for rise; ensure it is fresh for best results.
  • 2 tbsp Cornstarch Softens cookie texture, ensuring tenderness; key for achieving thick cookies.
  • 1 tsp Salt Balances sweetness; can use sea salt for a different flavor.
  • 3 cups All-Purpose Flour Forms the structure of the cookie; a gluten-free flour blend can be substituted.
For the Chocolate Filling
  • 2 cups Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips Adds rich chocolate flavor and texture; white chocolate or chopped milk chocolate can be swapped.
For the Festive Touch
  • 1 cup Easter Sprinkles Perfect for decoration and a pop of color; optional but brings a festive flair.
  • 6-8 count Peep brand Easter Marshmallows The delightful surprise filling; stale Peeps work best for stuffing.

Equipment

  • Stand mixer
  • Baking Sheets
  • Parchment Paper
  • Cookie scoop

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F and prepare your baking sheets with parchment paper. In a stand mixer, combine room temperature unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Beat on medium-high speed for about 5 minutes until the mixture is light and fluffy.
  2. Add your large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then pour in the vanilla extract and mix for an additional minute.
  3. In a separate bowl, sift together all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients in your stand mixer on low speed until just combined.
  4. Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips and Easter sprinkles using a spatula.
  5. Using a 4oz cookie scoop, portion out the dough, flatten each round slightly, place one Peep marshmallow in the center, and wrap the dough around the marshmallow.
  6. Chill the formed cookie dough balls in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or up to 48 hours.
  7. Place four stuffed cookie dough balls on each prepared baking sheet and bake for 14-16 minutes until the edges are golden brown and the centers look slightly underbaked.
  8. Let the cookies sit for 20-30 minutes on the tray to help them set perfectly before transferring to a wire rack to finish cooling.
