Ingredients
  

For the Cookie Bars
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour Feel free to substitute with gluten-free flour.
  • 1 cup salted butter Unsalted butter works too—add a pinch of salt.
  • 1 cup brown sugar Both light and dark varieties are suitable.
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar Coconut sugar is a healthy alternative.
  • 1 large egg yolk An additional whole egg can be used for extra richness.
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Almond extract can be swapped for variation.
  • 1 cup Cadbury Mini Eggs Other chocolate candies can be used for variety.
For the Buttercream Frosting

Method
 

Directions
  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking pan (about 9x13 inches) with parchment paper for easy removal and cleanup.
  2. Cream the Butters and Sugars: In a mixing bowl, beat together the salted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Blend in the Egg Yolk and Vanilla: Add the egg yolk and vanilla extract to the creamed mixture, mixing until well combined.
  4. Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Gradually mix in the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt until a thick batter forms.
  5. Spread and Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly. Bake for about 25 minutes, until the edges are golden brown.
  6. Cool Completely: Allow the bars to cool in the pan for at least 30 minutes before frosting.
  7. Prepare the Buttercream Frosting: In a separate bowl, beat together the softened butter and powdered sugar. Gradually add milk and food coloring until smooth.
  8. Frost and Decorate: Spread the frosting evenly over the cooled cookie bars, then top with crushed Cadbury Mini Eggs.
  9. Slice and Enjoy: Cut the bars into squares and serve them up at your next gathering.
