Ingredients

Scale

Candy and Chips

  • 1 cup (200g) crushed Cadbury mini eggs
  • 1 cup (240g) mini chocolate chips

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup (222g) salted butter
  • 1 cup (246g) brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup (115g) granulated sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups (304g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup (50g) rolled oats
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Spray a 9×13 inch baking pan with non-stick spray to prevent sticking and set it aside.
  2. Measure Candy and Chocolate Chips: Measure out 1 cup of crushed Cadbury mini eggs and 1 cup of mini chocolate chips and set them aside for later mixing.
  3. Cream Butter and Sugars: In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream together 1 cup salted butter, 1 cup brown sugar, and 1/2 cup granulated sugar until the mixture is smooth, light in color, and fluffy, which should take about 2 minutes.
  4. Add Egg and Vanilla: Scrape down the sides of the bowl, then mix in 1 egg and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
  5. Add Dry Ingredients: Stop the mixer, then add 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup rolled oats, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Begin mixing slowly to combine.
  6. Incorporate Candy and Chips: When the flour mixture is about half incorporated, add the crushed Cadbury mini eggs and mini chocolate chips to the mixer. Continue mixing until the dough is fully combined, being careful to avoid over mixing.
  7. Press Dough into Pan: Gently press the cookie dough evenly into the prepared 9×13 inch baking pan.
  8. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until the bars have risen and edges turn golden brown.
  9. Cool and Serve: Allow the cookie bars to cool completely in the pan before cutting into bars. Store leftovers in an airtight container to maintain freshness.

Notes

  • Be careful not to over mix after adding flour to prevent tough cookie bars.
  • If crushed Cadbury mini eggs are not available, substitute with other candy-coated chocolate eggs or chopped milk chocolate candies.
  • Fully cooling the bars before cutting helps prevent them from crumbling.
  • Use salted butter as specified for balanced flavor; unsalted butter can be used, but adjust salt accordingly.
  • These bars are best stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
