# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The cookies stay soft and chewy while the Mini Eggs add an unexpected crunch and bright visual surprise that makes people smile.
  • They come together in under 30 minutes total, leaving plenty of time to actually enjoy your Easter or spring gathering instead of being stuck in the kitchen.
02 -
  • Pulling these cookies out when they look slightly underdone is terrifying but correct—they continue to bake on the hot sheet and become perfectly chewy instead of hard and brittle.
  • The chopped Mini Eggs release a little moisture as they bake, which is actually what keeps these cookies soft longer than regular chocolate chip cookies do.
03 -
  • Reserve a handful of whole Mini Eggs to press decoratively on top of each dough ball just before baking—they stay glossy and beautiful instead of dissolving into the dough.
  • These cookies stay softer longer than typical chocolate chip cookies because of the moisture from the candy pieces, so don't panic if they feel slightly soft when you first remove them from the oven.
