Chewy chocolate chip cookies with a hidden colorful marshmallow surprise inside, perfect for spring gatherings.

# 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 (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
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)

# Directions:

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.
05 - Gradually add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
06 - Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
07 - Scoop about 2 tablespoons of dough, flatten 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 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 -
  • The marshmallow center creates this molten lava effect that makes everyone gasp when they bite in
  • Kids lose their minds over the hidden surprise and adults secretly love it just as much
02 -
  • Sealing the dough completely around the Peep is the most critical step or you will have marshmallow lava all over your oven
  • Underbake slightly rather than overbake because the centers continue cooking on the hot pan
03 -
  • Chill the dough for 30 minutes if it feels too sticky to work with
  • Use a cookie scoop for uniform size so they all bake evenly
