Ingredients
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 1/2 cups mini chocolate eggs, lightly crushed
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking trays with parchment paper.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
3. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
4. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
6. Fold in the chocolate chips and crushed mini eggs using a spatula or wooden spoon.
7. Scoop the cookie dough onto the prepared baking trays, leaving space between each cookie.
8. Bake for 10 to 13 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers remain soft.
9. Let the cookies cool on the baking tray for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
10. Serve warm or store in an airtight container once fully cooled.
Notes
Chill the dough for 20 to 30 minutes if you want thicker bakery-style cookies.
Slightly underbake the cookies for extra soft and chewy centers.
Press extra chocolate chips and mini egg pieces on top before baking for a prettier finish.
