Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup butter 2 sticks unsalted, browned
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla bean paste or extract
  • 2 1/2 cups all purpose flour spooned & leveled
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 3/4 tsp salt
  • 1 cup dark chocolate chopped
  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup Easter m&ms
  • 1/2 cup mini Cadbury eggs crushed
  • 1/2 cup peanut butter eggs crushed
  • flaky sea salt

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350°F and line your baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • In a sauce pan over medium high heat, add your butter and let melt. Once it's melted, keep it on the heat and let it cook for 5-10 minutes until it foams up and then turns a amber brown color. Transfer into a glass measuring cup and let cool.
  • In a large bowl add your browned butter, brown sugar, and sugar. Whisk it up until it's well combined.
  • Add your eggs and vanilla bean paste (or vanilla extract) and stir again.
  • Your mixture should be light and fluffy in texture.
  • Next, add your dry ingredients. This includes your all purpose flour, cornstarch, baking soda and salt. Stir until just combined.
  • Add your chopped dark chocolate, mini chocolate chips and any Easter Candy you have. I used Easter M&Ms, Cadbury mini eggs and more!! (make sure to reserve some for tops). Stir them in until just combined.
  • Scoop your cookie dough into 1-2 inch balls and place on your baking sheets lined with parchment paper a few inches apart (to prevent some spreading into each other). Top with extra chocolate.
  • Bake at 350°F for 8-10 minutes, until edges are golden brown. If you want soft and gooey cookies be sure to take them out before fully set, they will continue to cook slightly on the pan.
  • Remove from oven. tap your pan down if they didn't spread enough. Using a round cookie cutter or glass, scoot around your cookies to make them all round and the same size. This also helps if they spread too much.
  • Add a pinch of flaky sea salt and let cool.
  • Share and enjoy!!
