- 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2½ cups all-purpose flour

- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
Additional Mix-ins:

- 1 cup pastel-colored candy-coated chocolate eggs, roughly chopped
- ½ cup pastel-colored sprinkles
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Cream butter and sugars: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add eggs and vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.

- Fold in mix-ins: Fold in the chocolate chips, chopped candy-coated chocolate eggs, and sprinkles.
- Bake: Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets. Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until golden around the edges and set in the center.
- Cool: Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- You can substitute milk chocolate chips or white chocolate chips for the semi-sweet chocolate.
