Meet my most favorite easter cookies of all time-puffy soft chewy chocolate chip cookies.

Chocolate chip cookie ingredients

Apart from the usual gang of flour, butter, egg, salt, vanilla we are using more brown sugar than granulated to produce softer and chewier cookies.

A little cornstarch in the dough bakes the cookies super soft and puffy.

We are also adding baking powder instead of baking soda to make cookies soft. Baking soda bakes crispier/crunchy cookies. We want them to bake soft. So baking powder it is!

You can't let this Easter pass without baking these thick and puffy, soft chewy chocolate chip cookies loaded with melty chocolate chips, marshmallows, white chocolate chips and sprinkles

Why are my chocolate chip cookies flat?

Admit it. No one likes to bake tough, crumbly and flat cookies. No one likes to eat a cookie that is tough, super crispy and hard like a taco!

To avoid baking taco like cookies, you must-

  1. Always chill this dough after you shape the dough into balls.
  2. Add a teeny-tiny bit of cornstarch to the dough.
  3. Don't keep the butter out for too long that it starts to melt. Start working with it as soon as when pressed with a finger, you see an indent but butter holds its shape.
  4. Do not ever add too little flour. This will bake your cookies like pancakes, super FLAT!
  5. Adding too many add-ins. This one weighs down the cookie dough as it bakes.

Total Time: 20 minutes minutes
Servings 10 Cookies
Calories: 348kcal
Author: Neha

Ingredients

  • ½ cup (1 stick) Butter (unsalted, room temperature)
  • ½ Cup Light brown sugar (Dark brown works too)
  • ¼ Cup Granulated sugar
  • 1 Large Egg
  • ½ tablespoon Vanilla Extract
  • ¼ teaspoon Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Baking soda
  • 1 ½ Cups (250 gms) All purpose Flour
  • ¼ Cup Chocolate chips of choice

Other Add ins

  • ⅓ Cup M&M eggs
  • ¼ ¼ Cup Mini marshmallows
  • ¼ ¼ Cup Sprinkles
  • ¼ ¼ Cup White chocolate chips

Instructions

  • 1. Beat butter and both sugars together on medium using a stand mixer or hand beater until creamy and fluffy. Add in vanilla and egg. Beat on high to combine for about a minute.
    2. Sift flour, baking powder and salt on the creamed mixture and combine just until flour disappears.
    3. Gently fold in M&M eggs, marshmallows, sprinkles and both chocolate chips. Save some add-ins to top on baked cookies. At this point you can chill the dough for up to 3 days in the refrigerator. (See recipe notes)
    4. When ready to bake, preheat the oven at 350 deg F and line your baking sheet with silicon mat or parchment paper. I like to bake 6 cookies in a batch.
    5. Divide the dough into 10 equal sized portions. Don't squish the dough in your hands too much. Chill till the mounds are firm to touch (about 30 minutes). Bake for 10-11 minutes. Or till they appear golden on the outside.
    6. Let the cookies cool on the sheet for 10 minutes before transferring on the wire rack to cool completely. This is the time to press saved add-ins to your cookies.
    7. Enjoy warm!

Notes

MAKE AHEAD TIP
  1. Cookie dough can be stored in refrigerator for 3 days, bring to room temperature and divide into 10 portions to proceed ahead with step 4 of recipe instructions.
  2. Unbaked cookie balls stay well in freezer for 3 months. Freeze them for a few hours on cookie sheet and then store them in zip locks. There is no need to thaw cookie balls before baking. Just bake them for an extra minute.
  3. Baked cookies stay good in freezer for 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator, or at room temperature. You can also re-heat them in microwave for 15-20 seconds.
  4. These cookies when reheated, taste very close to a freshly baked cookie, try it!
