Equipment

Ingredients  

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter 1 stick or 8 tbsp (softened)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 egg large (room temperature)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cup all purpose flour
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup semi sweet chocolate chips 60%
  • 3/4 cup Cadbury mini eggs Save some to decorate

Instructions

  • Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Using an electric hand mixer or stand mixer with a paddle attachment, beat butter and sugars for about 5 minutes until light and creamy.
  • Add the egg and vanilla to the butter-sugar mixture and continue beating using medium speed, until combined.
  • In a separate bowl, add the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt and whisk until combined.
  • Slowly add flour mixture to wet ingredients and mix, using a spatula or low speed if using a mixer, until incorporated (do not overmix).
  • Fold in the chocolate chips and crushed Cadbury eggs (save some to decorate)
  • Portion the cookie batter using an ice cream scoop (2 tbsp) and place on a prepared baking sheet.
  • Add some extra crushed Cadbury eggs on top of each cookie and bake for about 13 minutes until the edges are golden brown and the middle is soft and chewy.
  • Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes and enjoy!

Notes

  • Ensure the butter is soft at room temperature for the dough to be consistent.
  • The extra chocolate chips on the cookies will make them look prettier!
  • Don’t overbake the cookies. They will set as they cool – you don’t want them to lose what makes them chewy – you want those soft centers.
  • Cookies are best when eaten warm.  After the cookies cool completely, reheat them in the microwave for about ten seconds to achieve a melted center. 
  • To crush the Cadbury eggs, place them in a Ziploc bag and use a rolling pin to hit them once or twice to break them into 3 or 4 pieces each. Do not overdo it!
