I got a little behind on some of my easter and spring recipes, but save this recipe now and bake later! Throw in anything pastel into the mix and you have the makings of the perfect spring or easter dessert. These cookies are so much more than that. They are the base of the perfect chocolate chip cookie, combined with bits of chewy caramel, colorful M&Ms, mini pretzel pieces, and topped with a nod to the bunny itself! Not just any bunny though, a caramel oozing bunny as a surprise bite to the center of these Bunny Basket Cookies.

Bunny Basket Cookies: The Ultimate Easter Kitchen Sink Treat
Ingredients
Instructions
- If you don't have time to let your dough chill, preheat your oven from the start to 375 °F
- If you have time to chill your dough, skip the preheating step until you are closer to putting the cookies into the oven.
- Mix the flour, baking soda, and salt together in a mixing bowl. Put to the side.
- Cream the butter, white sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla together in another mixing bowl.
- Add the eggs, one at a time. Be sure to mix the egg with the butter mixture well before adding the next.
- Slowly add the dry flour mixture to the wet mixture. Once combined add in your chocolate chips, m&ms, and crushed pretzels pieces. Mix well to spread the different ingredients throughout the dough evenly.
- Put the mixing bowl, covered in the fridge to chill for 30 minutes.
- After 15 minutes of your dough's chill time, preheat your oven to 375 °F
- Once the 30 minutes of chill time are up and your oven is preheated, scoop 1 tablespoon of dough to form each cookie on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Be sure to leave space between the cookies.
- Bake the cookies for 10-13 minutes. Be sure to watch the cookies and remove them when they are golden brown.
- As soon as you remove your cookies from the oven add additional m&ms, soft caramel, and some sea salt on top. Last, add the caramel bunny to the center of each cookie before they fully cool.
