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 butter in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly until it becomes golden brown and nutty. Remove from heat and let cool for 10-15 minutes.
- Whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl and set aside.
- In a large bowl, mix cooled brown butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Add eggs and mix until combined.
- Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet mixture until just combined.
- Fold in chocolate chips, pastel M&M’s, and crushed Cadbury mini eggs. Chill the dough in the fridge for 30-60 minutes.
- While the dough chills, preheat the oven to 350°F. Prepare a 13.8×10 jelly roll pan with parchment paper.
- Spread the chilled dough evenly in the prepared pan. Optionally, reserve some M&M’s and chocolate chips for topping.
- Bake for 18–22 minutes until the edges are golden and the center looks set. Avoid overbaking.
- Once out of the oven, gently press halved crème-filled Cadbury eggs on top while still hot. Allow to cool completely before cutting.
Notes
Make sure the browned butter isn’t too hot before mixing it with the sugars.
Chilling the dough helps develop better flavor and texture.
For a decorative touch, reserve some candies to sprinkle on top before baking.
