Method
To make the cookie dough
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Lightly grease two cookie sheets or line with parchment paper, set aside.
- Using a hand mixer or a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter and sugar until smooth (1-2 minutes).
- Add in eggs and vanilla extract, beat until combined. Scrape down the bowl once complete.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together dry ingredients (flour, pudding mix, salt, baking soda).
- Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients in 2-3 portions, mixing well after each addition.
- Coarsely crush the Golden Oreos by placing them in a gallon bag and rolling them with a rolling pin. Reserve ¼ cup for topping, then add the remaining Oreos to the dough and mix until combined.
- Use a wooden spoon or rubber spatula to fold the sprinkles into the dough.
To assemble the cookies
- Cut 9 Peeps in half and set aside.
- Use a large cookie dough scoop to measure out dough that would form a 2-3-inch ball, flatten out the dough in your hand and place half of a Peep in the center of the dough. Fold the sides of the dough around the Peep and roll it into a ball (covering the entire Peep with dough).
- Place the balled dough on to the prepared cookie sheets, leaving 1-2 inches between each cookie.
- Add some additional Oreo chunks and sprinkles to the cookie dough balls prior to baking.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the bottoms of the cookies just begin to brown (I recommend removing them from the oven before the edges begin to brown).
- Allow the cookies to cool for 10 minutes, then transfer them to a cooling rack if desired.
