Ingredients
For the cookie bars: unsalted butter (softened), granulated sugar, large egg, salt, baking powder, vanilla extract, all-purpose flour, Cadbury Mini Eggs (crushed).
For the frosting: unsalted butter (softened), powdered sugar, milk, blue food coloring.
Instructions
- Crafting the Cookie Base – Preheat oven to 350°F and prepare an 8×8-inch pan with parchment paper. Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in egg and vanilla extract until fully combined. Add salt, baking powder, and flour, mixing until the dough forms. Fold in the crushed Cadbury Mini Eggs. Spread the dough evenly in the pan and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden around the edges.
- Whipping Up the Frosting – In a large bowl, beat butter and powdered sugar until fluffy. Add milk and beat for another 2-3 minutes until creamy. Slowly add blue food coloring until the desired pastel shade is reached.
- Bringing It All Together – Once the cookie bars are completely cooled, spread the frosting evenly over the top. Garnish with extra Cadbury Mini Eggs for a festive touch. Use a warm, clean knife to cut into 9 squares for perfect edges.
Notes
- For extra crunch, leave some larger chunks of Cadbury Mini Eggs in the dough.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for longer freshness.
- Swap out the blue food coloring for another pastel shade to match different occasions.
