Easter Peeps Sugar Cookies Recipe

Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.

In a separate larger bowl, beat the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.

Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and beat until combined.

Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients and mix until a dough forms.

Roll the dough into small balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet.

Flatten each ball slightly with the palm of your hand, then press a Peeps marshmallow into the center of each cookie.

Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.

Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
