# Instructions:
01 -
Heat your oven to 350°F and grease a 9-inch springform pan or line a round pan with parchment paper.
02 -
Stir your melted butter with both sugars until smooth. Add the egg, yolk, and vanilla, mixing well.
03 -
Mix up the flour, salt, and baking soda first, then blend this dry mix with your wet mixture until fully incorporated.
04 -
Gently fold in all the chocolate (both kinds), sprinkles, and those chopped Cadbury mini eggs.
05 -
Spread the dough in your prepared pan evenly, making sure it’s pushed out to the edges.
06 -
Pop it into the oven for 22-28 minutes. Bake it until the center is set but still a bit soft for that gooey feel. Let it cool fully before you start decorating.
07 -
Use a mixer to beat the butter till creamy. Slowly add the powdered sugar, vanilla, and cream. Once it’s blended, work in your food coloring to make the frosting a smooth, even shade. For multicolor frosting, split it into separate bowls and do one color per bowl.
08 -
Fill a piping bag with frosting and fit it with a 1M tip. Carefully pipe a border along the edge of the cookie. If using two colors, squeeze the second shade alongside the first.
09 -
Top it with additional pastel decorations, chocolate eggs, and anything else fun. Cut into slices and enjoy!
# Notes:
01 -
For the best texture, aim for a slightly gooey middle.
02 -
Bake this up to 2 days early and store it in a sealed container.
03 -
Pastel shades in your frosting complement Easter perfectly.
