Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup (2 sticks/226 grams) unsalted butter, softened
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
Sugars and Sweeteners:
- ¾ cup light brown sugar, packed
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
Additional Ingredients:
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 ½ cups mini Cadbury eggs, roughly chopped
Instructions
- Craft the cookie foundation by thoroughly blending softened butter with brown and granulated sugars until the mixture becomes airy and pale, creating a smooth base for your sweet treat.
- Incorporate eggs and vanilla essence into the creamed mixture, whisking until the ingredients are seamlessly integrated and develop a rich, glossy appearance.
- In a separate vessel, sift together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt, ensuring all dry components are evenly distributed and free of lumps.
- Gradually fold the dry ingredient mixture into the wet ingredients, stirring with gentle motions to prevent overmixing and maintain the dough’s delicate texture.
- Gently introduce chocolate chips and roughly chopped Cadbury eggs into the dough, distributing them evenly to guarantee a delightful surprise in every bite.
- Preheat the oven to 350F (175C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper, creating a non-stick surface for optimal cookie performance.
- Using a cookie scoop or spoon, portion the dough into uniform mounds, placing them with ample spacing to allow for natural spreading during baking.
- Slide the prepared baking sheet into the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, watching for golden-brown edges and slightly underdone centers.
- Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, enabling them to firm up and set their structure.
- Transfer the cookies to a wire cooling rack, permitting them to cool completely and develop their ultimate texture and flavor profile.
Notes
- Ensure butter is softened at room temperature for smoother creaming and better cookie texture.
- Use room temperature eggs to help ingredients blend more evenly and create a consistent dough.
- Chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking to prevent excessive spreading and maintain cookie shape.
- For gluten-free option, substitute all-purpose flour with a 1:1 gluten-free baking blend to maintain similar consistency.
