Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Main Mix-Ins
- 12 Cadbury Chocolate Eggs, chopped into medium-sized chunks
Instructions
- Preheat and Prep: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. This creates a uniform dry base for your delicious cookie dough.
- Cream Butter and Sugars: Using a mixer, beat unsalted butter with granulated sugar and brown sugar until light and fluffy—this step is crucial for the perfect chewy texture.
- Add Egg and Vanilla: Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and creamy, giving your dough that wonderful richness and depth.
- Combine Dry and Wet Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring just until combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the cookies tender.
- Fold in the Cadbury Eggs: Carefully chop your Cadbury Chocolate Eggs into chunks and gently fold them into the dough, ensuring every cookie has delicious melty chocolate pieces.
- Scoop and Bake: Drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto your prepared baking sheet, spacing them about two inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are golden but centers remain soft.
- Cool and Enjoy: Let your cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. This allows them to set perfectly while staying chewy and soft.
Notes
- Use softened butter and eggs at room temperature for smoother mixing.
- Remove cookies when edges are lightly golden to keep the inside soft and gooey.
- Cut Cadbury Eggs into similar-sized chunks so they melt evenly during baking.
- If time allows, refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes to enhance flavors and prevent spreading.
- Use parchment paper for even baking and easy cleanup.
