Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup unsalted butter room temperature
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 3 cups all purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 cups Cadbury mini eggs roughly chopped

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (180 degrees Celsius) and line a 9x13 inch baking pan with parchment paper or grease it with cooking spray.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and baking soda, and until well combined. Set aside.
  • In a separate bowl, whip the butter until smooth and fluffy.
  • Cream together the melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar using a hand mixer on medium speed.
  • Add the salt, eggs, and vanilla extract and continue to mix until just incorporated.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix, as this can result in tough and dry cookie bars.
  • Gently fold in the mini eggs, reserving a handful to sprinkle on top of the bars.
  • Pour the cookie dough into the prepared pan and spread it out evenly. Sprinkle the reserved mini eggs on top of the dough, pressing them down gently.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set. Allow the bars to cool completely before slicing into squares and serving.
