These chewy mini egg chocolate chip cookies are a cozy, nostalgic treat featuring a perfect balance of chewy texture and bursts of creamy mini eggs, ideal for family gatherings and sweet cravings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 1/4 cups (280g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup (170g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup (150g) packed brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (175g) mini chocolate eggs, chopped roughly
  • 1/2 cup (90g) chocolate chips, semi-sweet or milk chocolate

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line your baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat to prevent sticking.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, beat the softened unsalted butter with brown sugar and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Beat in the large egg and pure vanilla extract until fully combined.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Gently fold in the chopped mini chocolate eggs and chocolate chips with a spatula, ensuring even distribution without crushing.
  7. Using a teaspoon or small cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls (about 1 tablespoon or 15g each) onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake on the center rack for 9-11 minutes until edges are set but centers look slightly soft and shiny.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Chill dough for 15-20 minutes before baking if mini eggs melt too fast. Do not overbake to keep cookies chewy. Use room temperature eggs and butter for best texture. Avoid overcrowding baking sheet for even baking.
