Instructions
Prepare the oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Cream the butter and sugars
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Add eggs and vanilla
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Combine dry ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Fold in mini eggs
Gently fold in the crushed mini chocolate eggs, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Pro tip: Chill the dough for 30 minutes to prevent the cookies from spreading too much.
Shape and bake
Scoop tablespoon-sized amounts of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving space between each cookie. Bake for 10-12 minutes until the edges are golden brown.
Cool the cookies
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Tips & Tricks
