Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
4.5 cups all-purpose flour (add an additional ½ cup for a fluffier cookie)
2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
2 teaspoons salt
2 cups butter unsalted butter, room temperature
1 cup granulated sugar
2 cups packed brown sugar
4 teaspoons vanilla extract
4 large eggs
4 cups of smashes mini eggs
Directions:
Directions:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a baking mat.
In a medium bowl, mix dry ingredients - flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt; set aside.
In a stand alone mixer fitted with a paddle attachment (can use hand held too), cream together butter and granulated sugar and brown sugar. Add vanilla and eggs one at a time and mix, scraping down sides of bowl as necessary. Mixture may look clumpy.
With the mixer on low-speed, slowly add the bowl of dry ingredients and mix just until dough comes together, it may be a little crumbly which is totally fine! You do not want to over mix the dough, otherwise the cookies can flatten when baked.
Lastly mix in mini eggs. Place dough in refrigerator for 1 hour to firm up. Dough will be pretty firm already, but I find that cooled dough bakes better. If the dough is too warm or sticky, the cookies may flatten out.
Drop heaping spoonfuls of batter onto the baking sheet. Mine were about 3-4 tablespoons each.
Bake for 9-12 minutes (baking time will depend on oven) until edges are golden. Let cool on baking sheet for a few minutes than transfer to cooling rack.
