Ingredients
Wet Ingredients:
-
1 cup (226 g) unsalted butter, softened
-
3/4 cup (150 g) granulated sugar
-
3/4 cup (165 g) light brown sugar, packed
-
2 large eggs
-
1 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients:
-
2 1/4 cups (280 g) all-purpose flour
-
1 tsp baking soda
-
1/2 tsp salt
Mix-ins & Toppings:
-
1 cup (180 g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
-
1 1/4 cups (200 g) pastel M&M’s or candy-coated chocolate eggs (plus extra for topping)
-
Optional: pastel sprinkles for garnish
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish or line it with parchment paper.
-
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy (about 2–3 minutes).
-
Beat in the eggs one at a time, then add vanilla extract and mix until well combined.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
-
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
-
Fold in the chocolate chips and 1 1/4 cups of M&M’s or candy-coated chocolates.
-
Press the cookie dough evenly into the prepared pie dish. Press a few extra candies and sprinkles on top for decoration.
-
Bake for 28–32 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the center is just set (do not overbake).
-
Allow to cool in the dish for at least 15–20 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
-
Variations: Swap M&M’s with chopped mini creme eggs, crushed malted eggs, or even jellybeans for added Easter flair.
-
Serving Tip: Top each slice with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
-
Make Ahead: The dough can be prepared up to 2 days in advance and refrigerated until ready to bake.
-
Allergy Warning: Contains dairy, eggs, gluten, and soy. For nut-free options, ensure candies are processed in a nut-free facility.
-
Texture Tip: For a gooey center, bake for the shorter end of the time; for firmer slices, bake fully to the upper range.
