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 turns golden brown with a nutty aroma. Let it cool for 10-15 minutes.
- Whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl and set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine the cooled browned butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla. Mix until smooth, then add the eggs and blend until combined.
- Gently stir the dry ingredients into the wet mix just until combined.
- Fold in chocolate chips, pastel M&M’s, and crushed Cadbury mini eggs. Cover and chill the dough in the fridge for 30-60 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and prepare a 13.8×10 jelly roll pan with parchment paper.
- Spread the chilled dough evenly in the pan, saving some M&M’s and chocolate chips for topping if desired.
- Bake for 18-22 minutes until the edges are golden and the center is set but not overbaked.
- Once out of the oven, press halved crème-filled Cadbury eggs on top while still hot. Allow to cool completely before cutting.
Notes
Chilling the dough helps enhance the flavors and texture of the cookie bars.
Ensure not to overbake for a softer, chewier consistency.
Use parchment paper for easy removal from the pan.
