Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs

Add-ins

  • 2 cups Cadbury Mini Eggs, roughly chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and position the rack in the middle. This ensures the oven temperature is stable for even baking throughout.
  2. Combine the dry ingredients: In a small bowl, whisk together flour and baking soda until evenly mixed and light. This prepares the flour mixture to be folded smoothly into the batter.
  3. Cream the butter and sugars: Beat the softened unsalted butter with granulated sugar, brown sugar, and salt in a large bowl until pale, smooth, and creamy. Add vanilla extract and mix to incorporate the aroma and flavor.
  4. Incorporate the eggs: Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition until the mixture becomes glossy and homogeneous.
  5. Add the dry mixture: Gradually beat in the flour mixture until just combined, creating a thick, tacky dough—avoid overmixing to maintain soft cookies.
  6. Fold in the Cadbury Mini Eggs: Stir in roughly chopped Cadbury Mini Eggs evenly, distributing colorful candy bits throughout the dough.
  7. Portion the cookies: Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto ungreased baking sheets spaced apart to allow spreading, using a scoop or spoon for consistent size.
  8. Bake until golden: Bake for 9 to 11 minutes until edges are slightly golden and centers are soft but set; candy pieces will soften but keep their bright colors.
  9. Cool and finish: Let cookies cool on baking sheets for 2 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely. The finished cookies will be soft, chewy, and studded with colorful candy shards.

Notes

  • Do not overmix the dough once the flour is added to keep cookies tender.
  • Use a cookie scoop for uniformly sized cookies to ensure even baking.
  • Allowing cookies to cool on the baking sheet briefly helps them set before moving to wire racks.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container to maintain softness and freshness.
  • Roughly chopping the Mini Eggs ensures you get shards of candy for texture without overwhelming the cookie dough.
