Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
- In a large bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla extract until creamy and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the eggs one at a time to the butter mixture, mixing well after each addition.
- Gradually mix in the flour mixture until just combined; do not over-mix.
- Gently fold in the semi-sweet and white chocolate chips.
- Using a cookie scoop, drop dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet about two inches apart.
- Press the Easter bunny candies and a few chocolate eggs onto the top of each dough ball.
Baking
- Bake for 10-12 minutes until the edges are golden brown and the centers remain soft.
- Let them rest on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
To prevent spreading, chill the cookie dough in warm climates. Don’t overbake; the cookies will set while cooling.
