Ingredients

Cookie Dough

  • 1/2 cup Butter (softened)
  • 2/3 cup Brown Sugar (packed)
  • 1/4 cup Sugar
  • 1 large Egg
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1 1/3 cups All-Purpose Flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt

Add-ins

  • 1 (10-ounce) bag Mini Chocolate Cadbury Eggs (reserve 1/3 cup for topping)
  • 1/2 cup Milk or White Chocolate Chips (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Cream: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and sugar for about 4 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl frequently to ensure even mixing. Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
  2. Combine Dry Ingredients and Add Eggs: Fold in the flour, baking soda, and salt until just incorporated. Gently mix in the mini Cadbury eggs (except for the reserved 1/3 cup) along with the milk or white chocolate chips if using. Mix lightly to allow some of the Cadbury eggs to break while keeping others whole for texture.
  3. Chill the Dough: For best results, wrap the cookie dough tightly in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 24 to 48 hours. If short on time, chilling for at least 30 minutes will also work to enhance flavor and texture.
  4. Shape Cookies and Add Topping: Roll the dough into balls and place them onto light-colored baking sheets lined with parchment paper. Chop the reserved mini Cadbury eggs in half and press them gently into the tops of each cookie ball, adding a decorative and flavorful touch.
  5. Bake and Cool: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 9 to 10 minutes, or until they turn a light golden color. For crispier edges, you may bake for an additional 1 to 2 minutes. Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to set on the baking sheets for several minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Chilling the dough overnight deepens the flavor and improves texture, but if you're in a hurry, a 30-minute chill still produces delicious results.
  • Pressing chopped Cadbury eggs on top of the dough balls before baking gives the cookies a festive look and concentrates the egg flavor on the surface.
  • You can substitute white chocolate chips with milk chocolate chips, but the combination of Cadbury eggs and milk or white chocolate chips creates a richer chocolate experience.
  • Use light-colored baking sheets and parchment paper to prevent the bottoms from browning too quickly.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or freeze for longer storage.
