These cookies combine the fun colors and visual appeal of peeps with the sweet marshmallow flavor. Using my classic Sugar Cookie Cutout recipe, and topping it with a marshmallow buttercream makes this cookie so cute and quite simple to make.
1/4 cup milk or cream, + 2 tbsp to add to preference
1 tsp vanilla extract
Pink, yellow, and blue food dye
Pink, yellow, and blue sugar sprinkles
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Start by creaming together your butter and sugar in your electric mixer with the paddle attachment.
Once butter and sugar is light and fluffy, add in egg and Princess Cake & Cookie emulsion, mix until combined.
Add in your baking powder, then add flour 1 cup at a time. Mix well each time you add flour.
When you’ve added your last cup of flour, the dough may be stiff. You may need to take it out of your bowl and mix by hand.
Once dough is completely combined, lightly dust a clean work surface with flour and roll out your dough. I like to work with about 1/4 of the dough at a time. If you work with too much at one time it will be difficult to roll out.
Roll dough to about 1/4-1/2 inch thickness and cut with bunny cookie cutter.
Transfer to baking sheet, and bake for 6-7 minutes, depending on oven and preference. I never bake mine longer than 7 minutes. If the edges are starting to turn golden brown you’ve baked a little too long!
Cool completely before decorating
For the Frosting:
Cream together butter and marshmallow creme
Add Vanilla extract, mix until combined.
Add in powdered sugar, 1 cup at a time, alternating with a little bit of the milk each time
Once all the powdered sugar is mixed in, mix on high for 1-2 minutes until icing is light and fluffy
Once the frosting is made, divide into three bowls. Using the three bowls, add a different food dye into each bowl, making three colors of icing. Place each colored icing into a piping bag. If you do not have any, you can easily use ziplock bags. You could also spread icing with a knife.
Top each cookie with the marshmallow buttercream. After frosting the cookie, dip cookie into the sugar sprinkle of the same color.
Frost and dip all the cookies – and enjoy because you just made something SO cute and it was simple! Even the most novice of cookie decorators can make these 🙂 Enjoy!
