Ingredients
Scale
- 2 & 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter browned and cooled down to room temperature
- 2/3 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs at room temperature
- 2/3 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup pastel easter m&m’s
- 1/2 cup crushed cadbury mini eggs the candy-coated ones
- 8–12 cadbury crème-filled mini eggs halved (for topping)
Instructions
- Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly until it foams, sizzles, and turns golden brown. Remove from heat and let cool for 10-15 minutes.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt, then set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, mix the cooled, browned butter with granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Add in the eggs and mix well.
- Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
- Fold in chocolate chips, pastel M&M's, and crushed Cadbury mini eggs. Cover and chill in the fridge for 30-60 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Prepare a 13.8×10 jelly roll pan with parchment paper or grease it.
- Spread the chilled dough evenly in the prepared pan, reserving some M&M's and chocolate chips for topping if desired.
- Bake for 18–22 minutes until golden brown around the edges and the center is just set.
- Remove from the oven and while hot, press halved crème-filled Cadbury eggs on top. Let cool completely before slicing.
Notes
Ensure the butter is cooled before mixing with sugars to avoid cooking the eggs.
You can customize the toppings with more chocolate or different candies as desired.
For a chewier texture, avoid overbaking the cookie bars.
