Cut a board the size of the opening. If you use a thicker board, you can have it stick out beyond the molding up to 1". You might want to use shelving board or 1" x appropriate depth and frame in all 4 sides of the windows.

I'm assuming your windows are wrapped with sheetrock. The 1/2" sheetrock can be cut off and wood sills can be added to the framing. Check photo or other houses to see the style you want.
