Ingredients

1 cup butter room temperature
1 cup sugar
1 cup light brown sugar
2 large eggs room temperature
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream together the butter, sugar, and brown sugar using the paddle attachment. Mix until light and fluffy, or about 3 minutes. Add the eggs and vanilla slowly, scraping down the bowl as needed.
In a separate large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt and whisk to mix. Add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, then mix on low speed just until combined. Finally, add the M&M's and Mini Cadbury Eggs, reserving about 1/4 cup of each to add to the baked cookies, and mix on low speed to combine.
Use an ice cream scoop or spoon to scoop 2" balls of dough, placing them about 1-2" apart on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown on the edges.
Remove the cookies from the oven and add immediately a few of the reserved chocolate eggs and M&MS to the cookies, if desired.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack to cool completely. Enjoy!

Notes

Storing instructions: store Easter cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Freezing: you can freeze both the baked cookies and the unbaked cookie dough. As long as the cookies are stored in an airtight container or freezer bags, they will last for up to 2 months. To bake from frozen, pull the dough and transfer directly to a baking sheet. Bake as directed, adding a couple of extra minutes to the baking time.
