Cuisine: American
Serves: 10 servings
Ingredients
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1 cup chopped Cadbury eggs
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream the unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together using an electric mixer until light and fluffy, approximately 3-4 minutes.
- Add vanilla extract and eggs one at a time to the butter-sugar mixture, beating well after each addition. Ensure the mixture is smooth and fully incorporated.
- Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Fold in the chocolate chips and chopped Cadbury eggs gently using a spatula, distributing them evenly throughout the dough.
- Using a large cookie scoop or 1/4 cup measure, drop dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 3 inches apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set but still soft.
- Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Optional: Garnish with additional chopped Cadbury eggs on top while cookies are still warm for extra decoration.
Tips
- Temperature Matters: Ensure your butter is at room temperature for smooth creaming and better cookie texture.
- Don't Overmix: Mix the dough just until ingredients are combined to keep cookies tender.
- Chill Option: For thicker cookies, refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes before baking.
- Even Sizing: Use a cookie scoop for uniform cookie sizes and consistent baking.
- Watch Closely: Cookies continue cooking on the hot baking sheet after removal from oven, so don't overbake.
- Storage Tip: Store in an airtight container to maintain softness for up to 5 days.
- Extra Indulgence: Serve warm with a glass of cold milk for the ultimate chocolate experience.
