Easter Chocolate Chip Cookies 

Ingredients: 
Dry Ingredients
2½ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
¾ cup granulated sugar
¾ cup brown sugar, packed
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Coloring and Mix-Ins
Gel food coloring (pastel pink, purple, yellow, and blue)
2 cups chocolate chips, or pastel chocolate chips , plus extra for topping

Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F
Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
Set aside.

In a large bowl using an electric mixer, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Add the eggs to the butter mixture one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Stir in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Fold in 1½ cups of the chocolate chips, reserving the remaining ½ cup for topping the cookies later.

Divide the cookie dough into four equal portions. Add a different pastel food coloring to each portion (pink, purple, yellow, and blue), mixing gently until the color is evenly distributed.

Take small pieces from each colored dough and gently press them together without fully mixing them. This creates the marbled effect. Form into balls about 2 tablespoons in size.

Place the marbled dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Slightly flatten each ball with your palm.
Press some of the reserved chocolate chips onto the tops of the cookies.

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are just set and beginning to turn golden.
The centers will still look slightly soft.

Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.

Once cooled, serve these colorful Easter cookies with a glass of milk.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature.
