Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Make the Cookie Dough:
- In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the milk and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.
- Gradually mix in the heat-treated flour, stirring until fully incorporated.
- Fold in the mini chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
2. Shape into Eggs & Freeze:
- Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of cookie dough and shape them into egg forms using your hands.
- Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze for at least 30 minutes. This helps them firm up, making them easier to coat in chocolate.
3. Melt the Chocolate:
- Place the chocolate or candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl and heat in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth and fully melted.
- Alternatively, use a double boiler for even melting.
4. Dip the Cookie Dough Eggs:
- Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each frozen cookie dough egg into the melted chocolate, coating completely.
- Let any excess chocolate drip off before placing it back on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
- While the chocolate is still wet, add sprinkles or drizzle with extra melted chocolate for decoration.
5. Let Set & Enjoy!
- Allow the chocolate to fully harden at room temperature or in the fridge for faster setting.
- Once set, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
Pro Tips for the Best Cookie Dough Easter Eggs
✔ Use a cookie scoop to keep the sizes uniform.

✔ Experiment with flavors—try peanut butter chips, white chocolate chips, or even a touch of sea salt.

How to Store & Serve

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use almond or coconut flour instead?
Yes! Almond flour works well as a gluten-free option. Coconut flour absorbs more liquid, so adjust the milk slightly.
What chocolate works best for coating?
I recommend using candy melts or high-quality baking chocolate. If using chocolate chips, add a teaspoon of coconut oil to help with melting.
Can I make these ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can make and store them in the fridge for up to a week, or freeze for longer storage.
