Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups mini Cadbury eggs (roughly chopped)
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup (2 sticks/226 grams) unsalted butter (softened)
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup light brown sugar (packed)
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 2 tsps vanilla extract
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
Instructions
- Creaming Stage: Whip softened butter with brown and granulated sugars until the mixture transforms into a light, fluffy consistency with a pale appearance.
- Wet Ingredient Integration: Whisk eggs and vanilla essence into the creamed sugar mixture, creating a glossy, homogeneous blend that promises a rich flavor profile.
- Dry Ingredient Preparation: Sift flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt together, ensuring a uniform mixture without any clumping or uneven distribution.
- Dough Formation: Delicately fold dry ingredients into the wet mixture, using minimal stirring to preserve the dough’s tender structure and prevent toughness.
- Chocolate Embellishment: Gently fold chocolate chips and Cadbury eggs throughout the dough, ensuring an even distribution for consistent flavor in every cookie.
- Oven Preparation: Warm the oven to 350F (175C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper, creating an ideal surface for cookie development.
- Baking Process: Scoop uniform dough mounds onto the prepared sheet, spacing them strategically to allow natural spreading and even baking.
- Cooling and Finishing: Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges turn golden brown, then rest cookies on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack for complete cooling.
Notes
- Prevent Overmixing: Stir the dough gently to maintain a tender, soft cookie texture and avoid developing tough, dense baked goods.
- Uniform Baking: Space cookie dough mounds evenly on the baking sheet to ensure consistent heat distribution and prevent uneven browning.
- Temperature Sensitivity: Use softened butter at room temperature for better incorporation and smoother cookie dough consistency.
- Chocolate Egg Distribution: Chop Cadbury eggs into similar-sized pieces to guarantee an even spread of chocolate chunks throughout each cookie.
