Step-by-Step Instructions for Delightful Easter Cookies
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk until well blended.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, beat together the softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Add the cold large egg and pure vanilla extract to the mixture, beating until just combined.
  5. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture at low speed until the dough just comes together.
  6. Gently fold in the Easter M&M's and white chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
  7. Using a cookie scoop, portion out the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving space for spreading.
  8. Bake for 8-11 minutes or until the edges are set but centers remain soft.
  9. Cool the cookies on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to wire racks.
  10. Store your cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
