Instructions
Easter M&M Cookies
Using a large mixing bowl with an electric mixer, or in a stand mixer, cream Butter and Granulated White Sugar together for 2-3 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
Add Eggs and Vanilla Extract and continue to cream together until combined.
Then add Brown Sugar and cream for another 2 minutes.
In a separate bowl combine Flour, Baking Soda, and Salt. Mix ingredients together.
Gradually add dry ingredients to wet ingredients a little at a time making sure to combine everything together before adding more.
Hand stir in Chocolate Chips and about half a bag of M&M's into the cookie dough mixture.
Scoop cookie dough using a medium cookie scoop #24 onto a well-greased cookie sheet with parchment paper.
Press extra M&M's on top of the cookie dough before baking
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bake cookies for 9-11 minutes.
Edges of cookies will turn a light golden color and the center will be set.
Remove from oven and allow to cool on pan for a couple of minutes before moving to a wire rack to cool.
TIP: Garnish your cookies by adding a few extra Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips on top of the cookies while still hot for extra visual appeal.
Mini Bunny Cookies
Make the cookie dough as above, but use a small cookie scoop to scoop small cookie dough balls onto a cookie sheet.
Bake at 350 degrees F for 6-7 minutes, checking the cookies after 6 minutes of baking.
While still warm, press 3 M&Ms of the same color into the cookies, one in the center of the cookie to look like a circle from the top view, for a bunny head, and then two above it, facing side-ways, to look like long bunny ears when you're looking down on it.

Storage: Store these cookies once they have cooled in an airtight container for up to 7 days at room temperature. Cookies are generally best if enjoyed within 2-3 days.
Freezing: You can freeze these cookies in a sealed container or Ziploc bag for up to 3 months. Place parchment paper between each cookie, or cover each cookie in plastic wrap, to prevent them from sticking together.
