Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, cream softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy (about 3 to 5 minutes).
Beat in eggs one at a time and stir in vanilla extract until smooth.
In another bowl, whisk together flour and baking powder; gradually add to the wet ingredients until just combined.
Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough onto prepared baking sheets, leaving space between each cookie.
Gently press a few candy eggs into the center of each cookie before baking.
Bake for 10-12 minutes or until lightly golden around the edges but soft in the center.
Let cool slightly before transferring to a wire rack.
