Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour (or gluten-free blend for gluten-free option)
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened (or dairy-free butter for dairy-free option)
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Main Feature
- 1 1/2 cups chopped Cadbury Eggs (medium-sized chunks)
Instructions
- Prepare Your Ingredients: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Chop your Cadbury Eggs into medium-sized chunks, and gather all other ingredients to have them ready for mixing.
- Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until fluffy and light. This forms the buttery, sweet base of the cookie dough.
- Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract. Mixing these well helps give the cookies moisture and lift.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mix to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined to avoid overmixing.
- Fold in Cadbury Egg Chunks: Gently fold the chopped Cadbury Egg pieces into the dough, ensuring even distribution of that gooey chocolate gold.
- Scoop and Bake: Drop generous spoonfuls of dough onto a lined baking sheet, spacing cookies about two inches apart. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden but centers remain soft.
- Cool and Enjoy: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. This cooling helps the cookies set without losing their chewy texture.
Notes
- Use butter softened to room temperature for easy creaming with sugars.
- Mix dry ingredients just until combined to avoid tough cookies.
- Chop Cadbury Eggs evenly for consistent melting and texture.
- Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and promote even baking.
- Remove cookies just before edges turn golden for a soft, gooey center.
- Chill Cadbury Eggs before chopping to reduce melting and keep chunks intact.
