Easter Chocolate Chip Cookies
Ingredients You’ll Need
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
Gel food coloring (pastel pink, purple, yellow, and blue)
2 cups chocolate chips
Step-By-Step Instructions
Preheat And Prepare:
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Mix Dry Ingredients:
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
Set aside.
Cream Butter And Sugars:
In a separate large bowl, beat butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Stir in vanilla extract.
Combine Wet And Dry Mixtures:
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
Color The Dough:
Divide the dough into four equal portions.
Tint each portion with a different pastel gel food coloring (pink, purple, yellow, and blue), mixing gently until evenly colored.
Form The Cookies:
Take small portions of each colored dough and press them together to form a marbled ball.
Place on the baking sheet and gently flatten each ball.
Sprinkle chocolate chips on top for extra chocolatey goodness.
Bake To Perfection:
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
