Chocolate Cadbury Eggs Cookies
Description
This cookie recipe blends softened butter with brown and white sugars, then incorporates an egg and vanilla extract for a rich, creamy dough base. Flour, baking soda, and salt provide structure and leavening. Mini Cadbury chocolate eggs are folded in, leaving some to be chopped and pressed onto dough balls before baking. Milk or white chocolate chips add additional melt-in-your-mouth sweetness.
Baking at 350 degrees until lightly golden on the edges ensures the cookies have a tender center with some crispness at the perimeter. Chilling the dough before baking is recommended to limit spreading and achieve a thicker cookie, though a shorter chill still yields good results. Pressing chopped Cadbury eggs onto the tops after shaping helps retain some intact candy pieces for texture contrast and appearance.
These cookies feature a contrast between creamy, buttery dough and the varying textures of melted and partially intact chocolate eggs, suitable as a festive treat or special dessert. Adjusting chocolate types allows for customization to personal preference.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter (softened)
- 2/3 cup brown sugar (packed)
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 1/3 * cups flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- (1) ounce bag mini chocolate eggs Cadbury brand
- 1/2 cup milk chocolate chips optional, or white chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large mixing bowl, cream together butter, brown sugar, and sugar for 4 minutes, scraping the sides of the bowl often. Add egg and vanilla and mix.
- Fold in flour, baking soda, and salt. Mix in cadbury eggs (leave out 1/3 cup for adding to the cookies at the end) and either milk or white chocolate chips. Lightly mix together to allow some of the cadbury eggs to break apart and keep some whole.
- If time is on your side, wrap up the dough in Saran Wrap and let chill. It is ideal to chill the dough for 24-48 hours but even 30 minutes would work.
- Roll the cookie dough into balls and drop onto light-colored baking sheets (preferably lined with parchment paper sheets). Chop the remaining mini Cadbury eggs in half and press into the tops of the cookie dough balls before baking.
- Bake for 9-10 minutes or until a light golden color. May bake 1-2 minutes longer if you want crispier edges. Remove from the oven and let set up for several minutes.
Notes
- For thicker cookies, increase the flour to 1 1/2 cups.
- Chilling the dough for 24-48 hours improves texture but a minimum of 30 minutes is helpful.
- Press chopped Cadbury eggs onto cookie dough balls before baking for intact chunks on top.
