These Peeps Cookies are a delightful treat inspired by the sweet adventures of Sugar Belle. With a buttery cookie base, colorful yellow accents, and cute Peeps chick toppers, these cookies are perfect for adding a touch of whimsy to your baking endeavors.
Ingredients: 1 cup unsalted butter, softened. 1 cup granulated sugar. 1 large egg. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. 3 cups all-purpose flour. 1/2 teaspoon baking powder. 1/2 teaspoon salt. Yellow food coloring. Peeps marshmallow chicks. Assorted sprinkles.
Instructions: Melt the butter and mix it with the sugar in a bowl until the mixture is light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla extract and mix them in well. Add the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt one cup at a time. Mix until you get a dough. Separate the dough into two pieces. In one piece, add yellow food coloring and knead it until the color is spread out evenly and the dough is yellow. Put the yellow and plain dough pieces in the fridge for at least 30 minutes after wrapping them in plastic wrap. Warm the oven up to 350F 175C and put parchment paper on a baking sheet. Make a ball out of a small amount of plain dough. Make it a little flatter and put a Peeps chick on top of it. Make a thin rope out of a small piece of yellow dough. To make a nest, wrap the rope around the Peeps chick. Use different kinds of sprinkles to decorate the cookies. Put the cookies on the baking sheet that has been prepared. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are just beginning to turn golden. After taking the cookies out of the oven, let them cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet before moving them to a wire rack to cool all the way down.
