# Components:

→ Dry Ingredients

01 - 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
02 - 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
03 - 1/2 teaspoon salt

→ Wet Ingredients

04 - 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
05 - 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar

08 - 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

→ Mix-Ins

09 - 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

# Directions:

01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
02 - In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
03 - In a large bowl, beat the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until light and creamy.
04 - Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
05 - Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
06 - Fold in the chocolate chips and chopped Cadbury Mini Eggs with a spatula.
07 - Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
08 - Press a few extra Mini Egg pieces on top of each dough ball for visual appeal, if desired.
09 - Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but centers remain soft.
10 - Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

# Chef Secrets:

01 -
  • They're soft in the middle with crispy edges, which means you get that textural contrast without having to master temperamental baking timing.
  • The colorful Mini Eggs make people smile before they even taste them, turning a simple cookie into a small moment of joy.
  • You can have fresh-baked cookies ready in under an hour, perfect for when you need something impressive but aren't planning to spend your whole afternoon in the kitchen.
02 -
  • Don't bake these longer than 12 minutes or they'll lose that signature soft, chewy center that makes them special; they firm up more as they cool, so they should look barely done when you pull them from the oven.
  • Cadbury Mini Eggs have a thinner shell than regular chocolate, so chopping them roughly rather than finely keeps them crunchy instead of letting them disappear into the dough.
03 -
  • Bringing all your ingredients to room temperature before you start makes the dough come together more smoothly and ensures even mixing without overstirring.
  • If you notice your chocolate chips are sliding around the dough before baking, toss them in a tablespoon of flour before folding them in; this keeps them distributed throughout instead of sinking to the bottom.
