Method
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and white sugar on medium-high speed until light and fluffy (about 2 minutes).
- Add the egg and vanilla extract, and beat until completely smooth and combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add to the wet ingredients, mixing on low until just combined.
- Gently fold in the chocolate chips and Easter sprinkles with a spatula.
- Take about 2 tablespoons of dough, flatten it into a disc, and place one marshmallow Peep in the center. Fold the dough around the Peep, pinching the seams tightly so the marshmallow is completely enclosed. Roll into a smooth ball.
- Place the stuffed dough balls on a parchment-lined tray, cover loosely, and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Place chilled dough balls 2-3 inches apart on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Bake for 11-13 minutes until the edges are golden brown but the centers are still soft. Do not overbake, or the marshmallow will melt into the dough.
- Let cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Serve warm for a gooey marshmallow pull!
Notes
Ensure the dough is completely sealed around the Peep with no cracks or thin spots; otherwise, the marshmallow will leak out and burn during baking.
