Description

These delightful 3-Ingredient Peeps Cookies are a fun and colorful treat perfect for Easter or any festive occasion. Made by sandwiching marshmallow Peeps between sugar cookie dough discs and topped with sprinkles, these cookies are baked to golden perfection, creating a sweet and chewy surprise inside every bite.

Ingredients

Scale

Cookie Dough

  • 2 (16-oz.) packages Pillsbury Refrigerated Sugar Cookie Dough

Filling

  • 6 Peeps marshmallow candies

Topping

  • Sprinkles, for decorating

Instructions

  1. Prepare the oven and dough: Arrange a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350°F (175°C). On a clean work surface, separate each roll of the refrigerated sugar cookie dough into 6 equal pieces, resulting in 12 pieces total.
  2. Assemble the cookies: Flatten each piece of dough into a disc shape. Take two dough discs and sandwich a Peep marshmallow between them. Use your fingers to carefully seal the seams so that the Peep is completely enclosed inside the dough. Repeat to make six sandwich cookies total.
  3. Add sprinkles: Pour sprinkles onto a plate. Press the tops of each dough sandwich cookie gently into the sprinkles to coat them.
  4. Arrange on baking sheet: Place two prepared dough balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them about 3 inches apart to allow for spreading.
  5. Bake: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 17 to 20 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the cookies are cooked through.
  6. Cool down: Transfer the cookies to a wire rack and let them cool completely.
  7. Repeat: Repeat the baking process with the remaining dough balls using a clean parchment-lined baking sheet.

Notes

  • These cookies spread significantly while baking, so make sure to space them well apart on the baking sheet.
  • You can experiment with different Peeps colors or shapes for variety and seasonal themes.
  • For best results, allow cookies to cool fully before handling to prevent the marshmallow filling from being too soft.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
  • If desired, use gluten-free sugar cookie dough to make these cookies gluten-free.
