Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Add-ins
- 1 cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet or milk chocolate)
- 1 1/2 cups Cadbury Mini Eggs, roughly chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking and promote even baking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set this mixture aside for later incorporation.
- Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. This creates a smooth base for the dough.
- Add Egg and Vanilla: Beat in the large egg and vanilla extract into the butter-sugar mixture until fully combined, ensuring even flavor distribution.
- Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually incorporate the dry flour mixture into the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Avoid overmixing to keep cookies tender.
- Fold in Chocolate Chips and Mini Eggs: Gently fold in the chocolate chips and roughly chopped Cadbury Mini Eggs, ensuring they are well distributed throughout the dough without breaking them up too much.
- Portion Dough: Drop rounded tablespoonfuls of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
- Bake Cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookie edges turn golden and the centers are set but still soft.
- Cool Cookies: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes to firm up, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before serving or storing.
Notes
- For best results, use room temperature butter to ensure proper creaming with sugars.
- Do not overmix after adding dry ingredients to maintain soft cookie texture.
- Chop the Cadbury Mini Eggs gently to keep some pieces intact for visual appeal and varied texture.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
- To make the Mini Eggs easier to chop, you can briefly chill them in the freezer for about 10 minutes.
