Easter is in just a few weeks, and these chocolate chip cookie dough Easter eggs make the perfect candy for the occasion. A delicious edible chocolate chip cookie dough is formed into egg shaped and dipped into melted chocolate. You can decorate the eggs with Easter themed sprinkes, or with more melted chocolate to create more of an Easter egg look. There is no baking required to make the edible chocolate chip cookie dough, which means no egg in the dough. And the flour is heated in the microwave.

To start the edible chocolate chip cookie dough, the flour is first heated for 30 seconds in the microwave. You can also spread the flour out onto a baking dish and bake for a few minutes. Beat the softened butter in a large bowl with a mixer along with sugar until fluffy. Mix in milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Add the heated flour in and beat until it is fully incorporated. Fold in chocolate chips with a spatula. Form the cookie dough into egg shapes and set onto a plate. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. Meanwhile, melt the candy melts in the microwave according to package directions. Stir in food coloring. Dip each cookie dough egg into the melted chocolate and set back onto plates. Let the chocolate set completely.
