Ingredients

½ cup butter softened
¾ cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups flour
1 can 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
½ cup miniature chocolate chips
½ pound blue candy melts
½ pound yellow candy melts
½ pound pink candy melts
½ pound white candy melts
Easter sprinkles

Instructions

MAKE THE COOKIE DOUGH: Place the flour in a large microwave-safe bowl and then microwave for 2 minutes in 30-second intervals, stirring in between each interval. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the butter and brown sugar together. Mix for 2-3 minutes.
Add the vanilla extract and mix for another minute.
Add half the flour and sweetened condensed milk and mix to combine.
Add the remaining flour and mix until combined.
Stir in the chocolate chips.
SHAPE THE EASTER EGGS: Shape about 1 ½ - 2 tablespoons of the dough into an egg shape and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. You can shape the dough with your fingers, or you can roll out the dough to be about 1 to 1 1/2 inches thick and then use an egg shaped cookie cutter to cut out the dough.
CHILL THE DOUGH: Chill the cookie dough eggs in the refrigerator for 2 hours or freeze for an hour.
When the cookie dough eggs are almost completely chilled, begin to melt the candy melts.
MELT THE CHOCOLATE: Place each of the three colors of candy (yellow, pink, and blue) melts in a separate bowl.
Melt each bowl in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between intervals until each is melted and smooth. To avoid the chocolate hardening up during the dipping process, just melt one color of chocolate at a time.
DIP & DECORATE THE EGGS: Using two forks dip each cookie dough egg into one of the 3 colors and tap off the excess before placing the egg back on the parchment paper.
Repeat with the rest of the eggs in the 3 colors.
Melt the white candy melts, drizzle the chocolate over the top of each egg, and immediately sprinkle with sprinkles. Let the chocolate set and then serve immediately or store the eggs in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
