Big Batch Mini Egg Cookies


I love cookies.

I love chocolate.

I love easter.

I love those renowned little nuggets of candy-coated goodness, that always sell out.

And I love these mini egg cookies!

Yes, you read the title right. MINI EGG COOKIES!!!

So I actually borrowed this recipe from Ahead of Thyme (which, is that not the best blog name ever?) I’ve altered it a bit but here’s their recipe.

But here’s mine:


Big Batch Mini Egg Cookies


Time: 40 minutes

Difficulty: Medium

Yield: 50-60 cookies (half or quarter this recipe easily!)


Ingredients

  • 1 cup salted butter, very soft
  • 3/4 cup white sugar*
  • 3/4 cup packed brown sugar*
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3 cups AP flour**
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp kosher salt (plus more for sprinkling)
  • 1 cup slightly crushed chocolate mini-eggs
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
To Make:
  1. Preheat your oven to 350° Fahrenheit***  
  2. In a large bowl using a hand or stand mixer fitted with the paddle, beat together sugars and butter until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
  3. Add in eggs and vanilla, and beat on medium for about 30 seconds
  4. Using a spatula, or the lowest setting on your mixer, gradually add in flour, soda, and salt. Mix until combined
  5. Add in mini-eggs and chocolate chips. 
  6. Mix until combined—dough will be crumbly!
  7. Scoop dough onto lined baking sheets in a staggered pattern (3, 2, 3, 2, etc.)****
  8. Bake for 12-15 minutes until edges are browned. Don’t worry if the center still looks gooey, it’ll set up as it cools.
  9. Let cool on sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
  10. Enjoy!
*if you want to half that, it’s a 1/4 cup and 2 tbsp.
**all-purpose
*** 175° Celsius
**** I used a 1 1/2 tbsp cookie scooper, and the cookies were on the larger side. If you use a bigger or smaller scoops, you may need to adjust the baking time.


Share these with a friend (or maybe 5 friends) and celebrate this beautiful holiday!

Happy Easter, friends. Go get yourself some mini eggs ;)

Duh, every good cookies starts with a good chunk of butter, in this recipe we’ll use 1 cup of very soft salted butter. White sugar. Brown sugar. Eggs. Vanilla. Just to add a little flavour!  Peppermint extract. In mint cookies, you’ll need to add mint flavour, of course! We’ll use a half a tablespoon. This may seem like a lot, but we want a good, strong minty flavour. Green food colouring. This will tint our dough to make it look minty. This is completely optional. Flour. We’ll use this to bind our butter mixture into a dough. Baking soda. 1/2 a teaspoon will keep our cookies from turning into pancakes!
