Soft, chewy chocolate chip cookies with colorful Mini Eggs, perfect for spring celebrations.

# What You Need:

→ Dry Ingredients

01 - 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
02 - 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
03 - 1/2 teaspoon salt

→ Wet Ingredients

04 - 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
05 - 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
06 - 1/2 cup granulated sugar
07 - 2 large eggs
08 - 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

→ Mix-ins

09 - 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
10 - 1 1/2 cups Cadbury Mini Eggs, roughly chopped

# Directions:

01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
02 - In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
03 - In a large bowl, beat butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until light and creamy.
04 - Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in vanilla extract.
05 - Gradually add dry ingredients to wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
06 - Fold in chocolate chips and chopped Cadbury Mini Eggs using a spatula.
07 - Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Optionally press additional Mini Egg pieces on top for decoration.
08 - Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until edges are lightly golden but centers remain soft.
09 - Let cookies cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to wire rack to cool completely.

# Helpful Hints:

01 -
  • They're soft enough that the Mini Eggs stay crunchy instead of melting into mush, creating this perfect textural contrast that makes every bite interesting.
  • The whole process takes less than 30 minutes from oven preheat to first batch done, so you can actually pull these together on a whim without canceling your afternoon.
02 -
  • If you overbake these by even a minute, the Mini Eggs will start to soften and lose their snap, turning into gooey pools instead of crunchy pockets—underbaked is always better here.
  • Chopping your Mini Eggs by hand instead of crushing them in a food processor keeps them in distinct, delightful pieces rather than turning them into a colorful crumb.
03 -
  • Buy your Cadbury Mini Eggs a week early so you have time to chop them properly and aren't rushed the day you want to bake.
  • If your kitchen is warm, chill your dough for 15 minutes before scooping so cookies don't spread too much and lose their shape.
