Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Filled Easter Eggs Recipe

Ingredients:

For the Cookie Dough:

• 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter (softened)
• 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup (100g) brown sugar (packed)
• 2 tablespoons milk (or plant-based milk)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 1/4 cups (160g) all-purpose flour (heat-treated*)
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup (90g) mini chocolate chips

For the Chocolate Coating:

• 2 cups (350g) semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips
• 1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional, for smoother melting)

For Decorating:

• Sprinkles, colored candy melts, or edible glitter (optional)

Instructions:

1. Heat-Treat the Flour:
   • Spread the flour on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes to kill any bacteria. Let it cool completely before using.
2. Make the Cookie Dough:
   • In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
   • Add the milk and vanilla extract, and mix until combined.
   • Gradually add the heat-treated flour and salt, mixing until a dough forms.
   • Fold in the mini chocolate chips.
3. Shape the Eggs:
   • Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of the dough and shape them into small egg shapes. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze for 15-20 minutes to firm up.
4. Melt the Chocolate:
   • In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil (if using) in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth.
5. Coat the Eggs:
   • Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each cookie dough egg into the melted chocolate, ensuring it’s fully coated. Let the excess chocolate drip off.
   • Place the coated eggs back on the parchment-lined baking sheet. If desired, decorate with sprinkles or drizzle with colored candy melts while the chocolate is still wet.
6. Set the Chocolate:
   • Let the chocolate set at room temperature or place the eggs in the fridge for 10-15 minutes to speed up the process.
7. Serve:
   • Once the chocolate is set, serve and enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge.

Tips:

• Edible Cookie Dough: Since this dough is meant to be eaten raw, heat-treating the flour is essential for safety.
• Chocolate Options: Use white chocolate, dark chocolate, or a mix for different flavors and colors.
• Make Ahead: These eggs can be made a few days in advance and stored in the fridge until ready to serve.
• Fun for Kids: Let kids help shape the eggs and decorate them for a fun Easter activity.
