Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking pan with parchment paper.

  3. Add the egg yolks and vanilla extract to the mixture, mixing until combined and smooth (1-2 minutes).
  4. Gradually mix in the all-purpose flour and baking powder until a thick dough forms, taking care not to overmix.
  5. Spread the dough evenly into the prepared baking pan.
  6. Bake for 20-25 minutes until edges are golden brown and the center is slightly soft.
  7. Remove from oven and let the bars cool completely.
  8. Prepare the buttercream frosting by beating softened butter until creamy.
  9. Spread the buttercream frosting over the cooled cookie bars.
  10. Sprinkle crushed Cadbury Mini Eggs on top, pressing them gently into the frosting.
