Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Beat until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually blend this mixture into the butter mixture until fully combined.
  • Fold in chocolate chips and coarsely chopped Mini Eggs until evenly distributed.
  • Use a spoon or cookie scoop to drop spoonfuls of cookie dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Baking

  • Bake for 10-12 minutes, until edges are lightly golden and centers are still soft.
  • Allow to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For best results, chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking to help retain shape. Don't overbake; cookies will continue to cook on the baking sheet.
