Chocolate Cadbury Egg Cookie Recipe
Description
The Chocolate Cadbury Egg Cookie Recipe blends unsweetened cocoa powder with all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt to form the dry base, combined with creamed butter and granulated sugar to produce a rich and flavorful dough. Adding vanilla extract enhances the taste, and chopped Cadbury mini eggs provide festive bursts of melty chocolate throughout each cookie. Chilling the dough for an hour before baking helps maintain structure and improves texture.
Baking the cookies at 350°F until just set yields a tender center with slightly crisp edges. Lightly pressing the dough balls before baking shapes them and encourages even cooking. A sprinkle of flaky salt on top balances the cookie's sweetness. These cookies work well as a treat during holidays or celebrations, and the recipe can be adapted to use other holiday chocolates as desired.
The dough can be frozen prior to baking; freeze scooped dough balls on a sheet pan until firm, then store in a freezer bag. To bake from frozen, add a couple of extra minutes to the baking time without defrosting.
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder sifted if lumpy, unsweetened
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 cup butter at room temperature, unsalted, 2 tablespoons
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg large
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract pure
- 1 1/2 cups Cadbury Chocolate Mini Eggs chopped
- salt for topping, flaky
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt.
- In the bowl of a stand-up mixer, with the paddle attachment, add the butter and sugar; beat until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add the egg and vanilla and beat until combined. In one batch, add the dry ingredients and cover the mixer with a clean kitchen towel. Turn on low and then turn to medium and mix until combined, about 40 seconds. Add the mini chocolate eggs and mix until combined.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and transfer the bowl of cookie dough to the fridge to chill for about 1 hour.
- When the cookies are done chilling, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Scoop cookies out onto cookie sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them about 3 inches apart. Press the tops of them a bit with your hands.
- ake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies are set in the center. These cookies are tough to tell when they’re done because you can’t tell if they’ve gotten brown so definitely watch the clock. Cool on a wire rack completely and then sprinkle the top with salt.
Notes
- Cadbury mini eggs add festive chocolate bursts but other holiday chocolates can be substituted.
- Dough can be frozen shaped on a baking sheet then stored in a freezer bag for later baking.
- Add a minute or two to baking time when baking cookies from frozen; defrosting is not required.
