# What You Need:
→ Dry Ingredients
01 - 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
02 - 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
03 - 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
04 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
→ Wet Ingredients
05 - 3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
06 - 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
07 - 1/4 cup granulated sugar
08 - 2 large eggs
09 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
→ Add-Ins
10 - 1 1/2 cups mini chocolate eggs, coarsely chopped
11 - 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
# How to Make It:
01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
02 - In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt until well blended. Set aside.
03 - In a large bowl, beat softened butter with brown sugar and granulated sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
04 - Add eggs one at a time, beating thoroughly after each addition. Mix in vanilla extract until incorporated.
05 - Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
06 - Gently fold in chopped mini eggs and chocolate chips by hand until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
07 - Drop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto prepared baking sheets, spacing about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
08 - Press a few extra mini egg pieces onto the top of each dough ball for a decorative finish.
09 - Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are lightly golden and centers appear just set.
10 - Let cookies rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
# Expert Hints:
01 -
- The edges get perfectly crisp while centers stay wonderfully soft and chewy
- Those candy-coated chocolate pieces create pockets of melty goodness throughout
- They come together in under 30 minutes with ingredients you probably already have
02 -
- Slightly underbaked cookies will continue cooking on the hot baking sheet, resulting in that ideal chewy center
- Room temperature ingredients incorporate better, so take your butter and eggs out at least 30 minutes before baking
03 -
- Chop your mini eggs into varied sizes—some large chunks, some smaller pieces—for better distribution throughout the dough
- Sprinkle a tiny pinch of flaky sea salt on top before baking for a gourmet touch that cuts through the sweetness
