Introduction:
Easter is a time of renewal, joy, and togetherness — and what better way to celebrate than with a batch of warm, gooey, colorful Easter Chocolate Chip Cookies? These aren’t just any cookies — they blend the traditional chewy chocolate chip cookie with pastel candies, festive charm, and springtime sweetness.
Whether you’re baking with your kids, your partner, or simply for yourself, this recipe is designed to spread smiles and bring that comforting scent of home-baked happiness into your kitchen.
🧺 Ingredients:
Dry Ingredients:
- 2½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ¾ cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
Add-ins:
- 1½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup Easter M&M’s or pastel candy-coated chocolates
- Optional: ½ cup chopped white chocolate or mini marshmallows for extra festivity
🍪 Method:
Step-by-step Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
- Mix the Dry Ingredients:
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside. - Cream the Butter & Sugars:
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy (about 3 minutes with a hand or stand mixer). - Add Eggs & Vanilla:
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract. - Combine Wet and Dry:
Gradually mix in the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, just until combined. Don’t overmix. - Fold in the Fun:
Gently fold in chocolate chips, Easter M&M’s, and any optional goodies like marshmallows. - Scoop & Shape:
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop dough balls onto your prepared baking sheets. Leave about 2 inches of space between cookies. - Form for Festivity:
For a decorative touch, press a few extra M&M’s or chips on top of each cookie before baking. - Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look a bit soft — that’s perfect.
- Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
📖 A Little Cookie History:
Did you know the original chocolate chip cookie was invented by accident in the 1930s by Ruth Wakefield at the Toll House Inn? She intended to make chocolate cookies but the chocolate chunks didn’t melt — and the rest is sweet, chewy history. Since then, these cookies have become an American classic — adaptable, lovable, and universally adored.
Our Easter version brings the same comforting flavor with a seasonal twist — pastel candies and optional marshmallows for a springy, playful vibe.
💖 Lovers’ Touch – Bake Together, Bond Forever:
Baking these cookies with your partner can be a delightful date activity. Sharing the mixing, sneaking bites of dough, and waiting for them to bake fills your home with warmth and connection. Want to get extra romantic?
Love Tip: Shape the dough into heart shapes or press your thumbprints into the centers and fill with melted white chocolate before baking. Write a sweet message in icing once they cool. 💌
