Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Add-ins
- 1 cup Cadbury Mini Eggs, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal of the cookies.
- Cream Butter and Sugars: In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, which helps create a tender cookie texture.
- Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time to fully incorporate, then add the vanilla extract to infuse the dough with rich flavor.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and baking soda to evenly distribute the leavening agent throughout the flour.
- Mix Dry with Wet Ingredients: Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined to avoid overworking the dough and keep the cookies tender.
- Fold in Cadbury Mini Eggs: Gently fold the chopped Cadbury Mini Eggs into the dough to distribute them evenly without crushing them completely.
- Shape and Bake: Drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets spaced about two inches apart to allow room for spreading. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until cookies are golden around the edges but still soft in the center.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the cookies to cool slightly on wire racks before serving to let them set and develop their chewy texture.
Notes
- For best results, measure flour correctly using the spoon and level method to avoid dense cookies.
- Do not overmix the dough once flour is added to prevent tough cookies.
- Use room temperature butter and eggs for improved dough consistency.
- Chopped Cadbury Mini Eggs add color and crunch but can be substituted with any small chocolate candies if desired.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
