Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Add-ins
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 1/2 cups Cadbury Mini Eggs, roughly chopped (plus extra for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Baking Sheets: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, ensuring a smooth dough base.
- Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then stir in the vanilla extract to add flavor depth.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt to evenly distribute the leavening and seasoning.
- Mix Dry and Wet Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined to avoid overworking the dough.
- Fold in Chocolate and Mini Eggs: Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips and the roughly chopped Cadbury Mini Eggs to incorporate candy flavor throughout.
- Shape Cookies: Scoop dough into rounded tablespoons and place them on the prepared baking sheets, spacing a few inches apart to allow spreading.
- Add Topping: Press a few extra mini egg pieces on top of each dough ball for an attractive and festive presentation.
- Bake: Bake for 10–12 minutes or until the edges turn golden and the cookie centers are set but remain soft for a chewy texture.
- Cool: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely, ensuring they set perfectly.
Notes
- Chilling the dough for 30 minutes before baking helps prevent excessive spreading and improves texture.
- These cookies are an excellent Easter treat or delightful springtime dessert.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days to maintain freshness.
