Basic Ingredients:

  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • ¾ cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • ½ cup Easter M&Ms or pastel-colored sprinkles
  • Food coloring (pink, blue, yellow)

Substitutions & Dietary Swaps:

  • Gluten-free? Use gluten-free all-purpose flour.
  • Dairy-free? Swap butter for vegan butter and use dairy-free chocolate chips.

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Dough

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy (about 2 minutes).
  3. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.

Step 2: Mix in the Chocolate & Colors

  1. Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, mixing until combined.
  2. Fold in chocolate chips and M&Ms.
  3. Divide the dough into three portions. Add a few drops of food coloring (pink, blue, yellow) to each and gently fold to create a marbled effect.

Step 3: Shape & Bake

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Slightly press them down onto the baking sheet.
  3. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until edges are lightly golden but the center remains soft.

Step 4: Cool & Enjoy!

  1. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
  2. Enjoy warm with a glass of milk or store for later!

Equipment

Notes

Don’t overmix the dough – this keeps the cookies soft and tender.
Chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking for thicker cookies.
For extra gooey cookies, add an extra egg yolk to the dough.
Want crispy edges? Bake for an additional 2 minutes.
Use high-quality chocolate chips for the richest flavor!
