Ingredients
Scale
Cookie Dough
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Mix-ins
- 1 1/2 cups chopped Cadbury Mini Eggs
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to ensure the cookies bake evenly without sticking.
- Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, beat the softened butter with the brown sugar and granulated sugar until the mixture is light, fluffy, and well combined, creating a smooth base for the dough.
- Add Eggs and Vanilla: Incorporate the eggs one at a time to ensure even blending, then mix in the vanilla extract for added flavor.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt to evenly distribute the leavening agent and seasoning.
- Mix Dry into Wet Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture into the wet ingredients, stirring gently just until combined to avoid overmixing which could make the cookies tough.
- Fold in Mix-ins: Carefully fold in the chopped Cadbury Mini Eggs and semi-sweet chocolate chips, preserving the chunkiness of the Mini Eggs for visual and textural appeal.
- Shape Cookies: Using a spoon or scoop, drop dough portions about 2 tablespoons in size onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing each cookie approximately 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
- Bake Cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden and centers appear just set to ensure a soft and chewy texture.
- Cool Cookies: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes to set, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely, locking in the flavors and texture.
Notes
- Gently crush Cadbury Mini Eggs with a rolling pin before mixing to maintain colorful chunks in the cookies.
- Avoid over-crushing the Mini Eggs to keep their decorative look and texture intact.
- These cookies freeze very well and can be enjoyed later by thawing at room temperature.
- Perfect for festive Easter celebrations or as a delightful holiday treat.
