How can I store my Mini Egg Cookies to keep them fresh?
Proper storage is key to keeping your Mini Egg Cookies fresh and delicious. Here are some tips on how to store them:
- Allow the cookies to cool completely before storing them. If you store them while they are still warm, condensation may form, causing them to become soggy.
- Store the cookies in an airtight container. This will prevent moisture and air from getting in, which can cause the cookies to go stale.
- Layer the cookies in the container with parchment paper or wax paper between each layer. This will prevent the cookies from sticking together and help maintain their shape.
- Store the container of cookies in a cool, dry place. Avoid storing them in direct sunlight or in a warm area, as this can cause them to become soft or melt.
- If you want to keep your Mini Egg Cookies for longer, you can freeze them. Place the cookies in an airtight container or freezer bag and store them in the freezer for up to 2 months. To thaw them, simply remove them from the freezer and let them come to room temperature.

How to make Mini Egg Easter Cookies
First you’re going to preheat the oven to 375F.
Then start to line 3 baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
Next, in a large mixing bowl, beat together the sugar, brown sugar and butter together until they’re well combined.
Add the vanilla and egg. Scrape down the bowl and mix until it’s all combined.
Then slowly add the flour, baking soda and salt to your mixture. Once again, scrape down the bowl and mix until everything is combined.
Now stir in the chocolate chips and the mini eggs with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula.
Scoop the dough with a 2ounce ice cream scoop onto the lined baking sheet.
With the remaining mini eggs, add them to the top of any cookies that may need to be topped up with extra eggs.
Finally, you’re going to bake the cookies for approximately 10-12 minutes, or until lightly golden brown.
