Chocolate Peep Stuffed Easter Cookies (Printable)

Soft chocolate chip cookies hiding colorful marshmallow Peeps inside for a fun Easter twist

# Ingredient List:

→ Dry Ingredients

01 - 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
02 - 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
03 - 1/2 teaspoon salt

→ Wet Ingredients

04 - 1 cup unsalted butter, softened (2 sticks)
05 - 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
06 - 1/2 cup granulated sugar
07 - 2 large eggs
08 - 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

→ Mix-ins

09 - 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
10 - 18 marshmallow Peeps (any color or shape)

# How to Make:

01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
02 - In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
03 - In a large bowl, cream butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
04 - Beat in eggs one at a time, then add vanilla, mixing well after each addition.
05 - Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
06 - Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
07 - Scoop about 2 tablespoons of dough, flatten it in your palm, and place a Peep in the center. Cover with another scoop of dough and seal edges completely so Peep is fully encased.
08 - Place stuffed cookies onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them 2 inches apart.
09 - Bake for 10-12 minutes or until edges are lightly golden.
10 - Allow cookies to cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • That moment when someone breaks open a warm cookie and finds a surprise marshmallow center is pure magic
  • The combination of chewy chocolate chip dough and melted Peeps creates the most incredible texture contrast
  • Kids go absolutely wild for these and adults secretly love them just as much
02 -
  • Sealing the dough completely around the Peep is crucial or marshmallow will escape and create a sticky mess on your baking sheet
  • Watch these like a hawk during the last 2 minutes because they go from perfect to overdone very quickly
  • The cookies will look slightly underbaked when you take them out but they firm up beautifully while cooling
03 -
  • Chill your dough for 30 minutes before stuffing and baking to prevent the cookies from spreading too much
  • If your Peeps are especially large, use slightly less dough so the cookie to marshmallow ratio stays perfect
