Ingredients

Units Scale

Cookies:

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup pastel candy-coated chocolate eggs or M&Ms (crushed or whole)
  • 1/2 cup white chocolate chips (optional)
  • pastel sprinkles (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Cream butter and sugars: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then add the vanilla extract.
  3. Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until combined.
  4. Add mix-ins: Stir in chocolate chips, candy-coated chocolate eggs, and white chocolate chips if using.
  5. Scoop and bake: Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Press a few extra candy pieces or sprinkles on top of each dough ball for decoration. Bake for 9–11 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden and centers are still soft.
  6. Cool and enjoy: Let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

  • These cookies can be made ahead and frozen.
  • Feel free to swap in dark chocolate or use chopped mini Cadbury eggs for extra Easter flair.
