Cadbury Egg Cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter – melted and slightly cooled
- 1 cup brown sugar – packed
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 eggs large
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
- 3⅓ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp table salt
- 1½ cups cadbury mini eggs + more for the tops of the cookies
- 1 cup white chocolate chips + more for the tops of the cookies
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Line a couple of baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.
- Combine the melted butter with the brown sugar and granulated sugar in the mixing bowl. Mix well, until there are no remaining lumps of sugar.
- Slowly beat in the eggs and vanilla. Mix just until incorporated.
- Keeping the mixer on a low speed, stir in the flour, baking soda, and salt. The dough will be soft.
- Place the cadbury eggs in a resealable bag and use a rolling pin or meat tenderizer to break them – taking care to not crush them too much so you still get nice chunks of chocolate eggs.
- Fold in the chocolate chips and the crushed cadbury eggs.
- Portion the dough into large rounds, slightly larger than a golf ball.
- Place them on the prepared baking sheets, about 2″ apart to allow for spread.
- Bake 11-12 minutes. The cookies will look slightly undercooked when you pull them out – they will set as they cool.
- Immediately press additional chocolate chips and crushed mini eggs into the tops of the cookies before they cool.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
