Dough Preparation
- In a stand mixer, cream together room temperature unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Add the large eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, then mix in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
Combine Dry Ingredients
- In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Gradually incorporate this dry mixture into the wet ingredients in the mixer on low speed, mixing until just combined.
Add Mix-ins
- Once your dough comes together, gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips and Easter sprinkles using a spatula. Be careful not to overmix.
Form Cookies
- Using a 4 oz scoop, portion out the dough and flatten each scoop slightly. Place a Peep in the center of each flattened dough, encasing it completely by folding the dough around it, and form a ball.
Chill Dough
- Refrigerate the stuffed dough balls for at least 2 hours, or up to 48 hours if you want to plan ahead.
Bake
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) while the dough chills. Line baking sheets with parchment paper. When ready, place 4 dough balls on each sheet. Bake for 14-16 minutes, until edges are golden brown.
Cool
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 20-30 minutes.

Notes
Chilling the dough is key to preventing flat cookies and helps the flavors develop. Ensure your butter and eggs are at room temperature for a smooth dough.
