This chocolate chip cookie bar with mini Cadbury eggs, chocolate bunnies, and browned butter is the perfect sweet treat for your Easter celebration.
Ingredients for Browned Butter Cookie Bar
- Butter – I love adding an extra note of flavor by browning the butter like we do in this recipe.
- Sugar – using both brown and granulated sugar in here.
- Egg – adds structure to the dough
- Vanilla Extract – adds extra flavor
- Flour – all purpose flour is best
- Baking Soda + Powder – to give the perfect cookie texture I love to use both baking soda and baking powder.
- Chocolate – All the kinds of chocolate are used here! Chocolate chips, mini Cadbury eggs, and small chocolate bunnies (if you can find them).
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, start melting the butter over medium heat. Once it starts boiling stir or swirl the butter to keep it from burning. The butter will start to foam up and change from light yellow to a deep golden yellow color.
- Once brown bits begin to form and a nutty smell starts to form remove from the heat and set aside to cool for 15-20 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350F and line an 8×8 baking dish with parchment paper then set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl or a stand mixer bowl, mix the butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar together since the butter will still be melted it will not cream together.
- Add in the eggs and the vanilla extract and mix until combined.
- Add in the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt and mix just until the flour mixture disappears.
- Add in the chocolate chips and mini Cadbury eggs and gently fold until all the flour is combined.
- Pour the dough into the prepared 8×8 baking dish. Gently pressing the dough into the pan. Then top with mini chocolate bunnies.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes until the cookie starts to brown on top. Allow to cool for an hour before removing from pan and slicing. This helps ensures that the cookie has finished cooking and will not fall apart when removed from the pan.
