Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Special Ingredient
- 12 Cadbury Eggs, unwrapped
Instructions
- Prepare Your Ingredients: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Soften the butter to room temperature so it mixes easily with sugars, and unwrap the Cadbury Eggs, setting them aside.
- Mix the Dough: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until combined. In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just incorporated.
- Shape and Assemble: Take a generous tablespoon of cookie dough and flatten it slightly in your hand. Place one Cadbury Egg in the center, then fold the dough around it, sealing the egg completely inside. Roll gently into a ball and place on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake to Perfection: Bake the cookies for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges look set and lightly golden but the centers are still soft. Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
- Enjoy! Allow to cool slightly so the gooey chocolate doesn’t burn your mouth—then dig in and savor your festive creation!
Notes
- Chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking to reduce spreading.
- Make sure the dough fully encases each Cadbury Egg to prevent leakage.
- Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and for easier cleanup.
- Keep a close eye while baking to avoid overbaking and maintain gooey centers.
- Use room temperature ingredients for even mixing and smooth dough texture.
