    Chocolate chip cookies are a classic flavor that everyone loves, so when Ken and I were thinking of sweet treats to bring to our Easter get-together, we knew we had to make them.

    I took some white almond bark and Spring colored sprinkles and made an Easter-themed version of chocolate chip cookies that are perfect for the season.

    This was inspired by these cherry chocolate blossom cookies, Dark Chocolate Cookies with Sea Salt and our chocolate chip cookies without brown sugar and it's a great dessert to add to your Easter desserts and sweets treats.

    The easy cookies are always welcome at any table. Trust me!

    Ingredients to make easter cookies with chocolate chip cookie dough and almond bark.
    • Butter: Salted butter is the key to the flavor and texture of chewy chocolate chip cookies.
    • Sugar: To add sweetness and create a tender crumb in your cookie.
    • Eggs: Essential to giving the cookies their texture.
    • Vanilla: Creates a cookie with more depth of flavor.
    • Chocolate chips: We prefer milk chocolate for a sweeter chocolate chip cookie but you can also use semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips.
    • Vanilla almond bark: Quickly and easily melts for dipping the cookies.
    • Easter sprinkles: Choose whatever you prefer!

    Substitutions and Variations

    • Swap the regular sugar for coconut sugar or another granulated sugar substitute.
    • Swap the white bark for other varieties!
    • No egg? Replace it with 1 teaspoon baking powder + 2 tablespoons water or dairy or non-dairy milk.
    • Need to make them gluten-free? Swap out the all-purpose flour for a 1-to-1 gluten-free flour.
    • Swap the chocolate chips for white chocolate chips, butterscotch, mint, caramel, peanut butter, or dairy-free chocolate chips instead.
    • Turn them into cookie sandwiches. Add a layer of melted chocolate or a scoop of ice cream between two cookies.
    • Add some colored sugars or sparkles on top of sprinkles for an extra festive touch.

    Storage

    Room Temperature: Store the for up to 5 days at room temperature in an air-tight container.

    Refrigerator: Store for up to 2 weeks in an air-tight container.

    Freezer: Store for up to three months in an air-tight, freezer-safe container. Place the cookies in single layers separated by parchment paper.

    Make Ahead: Form the cookie dough into balls, then refrigerate them for up to two days or freeze them for up to one month before baking.

    What to Serve with Chocolate Chip Cookies

    Chocolate chip cookies are delicious with a glass of milk but also go great with a cup of coffee or tea.

    They're also tasty when served alongside other sweets at your gathering like:

    • Sweet and Creamy Oreo Dip
    • Hostess Cookies
    • Blueberry Pie Bars

    Tips

    • Use room temperature butter to ensure a smooth texture and even baking
    • Beat the butter and sugar for at least two minutes before adding the egg and vanilla extract and continue beating for another minute or so until everything is well-combined for light cookies.
    • Do not over-bake your cookies or else they will be dry and hard.
    • For perfectly round cookies, use a scoop with measurements on it so each cookie comes out the same size.
    • Use parchment paper on your baking sheet for easy clean-up
    • Add sprinkles immediately upon dipping into melted chocolate so they adhere properly.

    FAQ

    Do I need to let the cooled cookies sit on the baking sheet for one minute before transferring them to a cooling rack?

    Yes for sure! Allowing the cookies to sit on the hot baking sheet for 60 seconds helps them finish cooking a bit more and prevents them from breaking apart when transferring from one surface to another since they become more delicate after being removed from the heat source.

    Is it necessary to soften the butter before creaming with the sugar in this recipe?

    Yes, it is important to have the butter at room temperature when making these cookies so that it easily mixes with the sugar. Room temperature butter should still hold its shape but be soft enough to press your finger into it without leaving an imprint or it feeling cold or hard.

    Is there an alternative to using almond bark in this recipe?

    If you don't have almond bark on hand, you can use 4 ounces of white or dark chocolate-flavored candy melts instead.

    What is the purpose of adding baking soda to this cookie recipe?

    The baking soda helps create a light and airy texture in the cookies due to its leavening properties. It also helps neutralize the acidic ingredients, such as the chocolate chips, giving them a more mellow flavor.

    What size egg should I use for this recipe?

    Using large eggs is best for this particular recipe as they are usually standard size when buying from the store and provide optimal structure, moisture level, and flavor – however, extra-large eggs may also work in a pinch if that’s all you have on hand.
