Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup unsalted butter room temperature
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup semi-sweet or milk chocolate chunks
  • 1 cup mini eggs chopped

Method
 

Baking Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line cookie sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a stand mixer or with a handheld mixer, cream together butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
  4. Add eggs and vanilla extract. Mix until incorporated, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and mix until combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chunks and chopped mini eggs until evenly distributed.
  7. Scoop about 2 tablespoons of dough per cookie using a medium cookie scoop and place them 2 inches apart on the prepared sheets. Press a few extra chocolate chunks and mini eggs on top for a bakery-style look.
  8. Bake for 9–11 minutes or until the edges are golden and the centers are slightly soft.
  9. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Chill the dough for thicker cookies if desired.
  • Do not overbake—cookies continue to set as they cool.
  • Press a few extra mini eggs on top before baking for a festive bakery look.
