Ingredients
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ¾ cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until smooth and creamy.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
- Fold in the chocolate chips and any optional Easter-themed mix-ins like M&M’s or sprinkles until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Drop rounded tablespoonfuls of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. The center will look slightly soft but will firm up as the cookies cool.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Storage: Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. For longer storage, freeze for up to 3 months.
- Reheating: To reheat, place the cookies on a baking sheet and warm them in a 350°F (175°C) oven for about 5 minutes, or microwave for 10-15 seconds.
- Add-ins: You can add Easter-themed candies like pastel-colored M&M’s or mini marshmallows for a festive twist.
