Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups chocolate chips (mix of dark and pastel-colored for Easter)
  • 1/2 cup colorful sprinkles (optional)

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, and stir in the vanilla extract until everything is combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
  5. Fold in the chocolate chips (both dark and pastel) and sprinkles (if using) until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  6. Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto a lined baking sheet, leaving space for the cookies to spread.
  7. Bake in your preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set.
  8. Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For perfect cookies, measure flour correctly and consider chilling your dough for 30 minutes before baking. Store in an airtight container for up to a week or freeze for up to three months.
