These soft, chewy and delicious cookies offer the best of easter all in one cookie. The added brown sugar gives you a chew like no other and the colorful eggs add the pop of color we all know and love about this holiday.
I love easter, its a great time to spend with family. the kids get to wake up to see if the easter bunny has arrived and after a morning of hunting eggs all over the home we get to sit down to breakfast and later have a great dinner with friends and family.
chilling these cookies in the fridge for at least 1 hour is very important. I personally get very impatient when it comes to these types of instructions so I get it. we just want the cookies now right? same! but trust me. if you wait you will not be disappointed!
Ingredients you will need
- Unsalted Butter– This will make sure your cookies are filled with flavor and great texture.

- Eggs- Binds the mixture together.
- Vanilla
- All purpose flour
- Baking Soda
- Salt- brings out the flavor of the cookie.
- Semi-sweet Chocolate chips- my preferred chip

How to Make Easter Chip Cookies
- Cream together butter and brown sugar.
- Add egg and vanilla and beat until smooth.
- in a separate bowl whisk together 2 cups all purpose flour, baking soda and salt until fully combined.

- fold in chocolate chips, chocolate bar and candy.
- chill in fridge for 1 hour or ever night.
- scoop into 2 tablespoon sized balls and drop onto lined cookie sheet with room to spread. these are big cookies, on my large cookie sheet I did 6 cookies at a time.

Notes
Chilling the dough may seem like a long time to wait especially since these are so delicious. but it is incredibly important and needs to be done or you will end up with very flat very dark cookies.
Salted dark chocolate bar is optional, for me it was the right thing to add to cut through the sweetness the easter candy eggs offer.
