Easter Chocolate Chip Cookies


Ingredients
2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
¾ cup granulated sugar
¾ cup brown sugar, packed
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Gel food coloring (pastel pink, purple, yellow, and blue)
2 cups chocolate chips
Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare:
    Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
    Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients:
    In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
    Set aside.

  1. Cream Butter and Sugars:
    In a separate large bowl, beat butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
    Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

  2. Stir in vanilla extract.
  3. Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures:
    Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
  4. Color the Dough:
    Divide the dough into four equal portions.
    Tint each portion with a different pastel gel food coloring (pink, purple, yellow, and blue), mixing gently until evenly colored.
  5. Form the Cookies:
    Take small portions of each colored dough and press them together to form a marbled ball.
    Place on the baking sheet and gently flatten each ball.

  6. Sprinkle chocolate chips on top for extra chocolatey goodness.
  7. Bake to Perfection:
    Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
    Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
