Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (226g) unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup (165g) packed light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 2 1/4 cups (280g) all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup (180g) semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional)
- 12 Cadbury Mini Eggs, unwrapped
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat 1 cup softened unsalted butter with 3/4 cup granulated sugar and 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar using an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
- Beat in 2 large eggs, one at a time, then stir in 2 teaspoons vanilla extract. Mix until just combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add the flour mixture into the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just incorporated.
- Fold in 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips if using.
- Using a cookie scoop or spoon, take about 2 tablespoons (30g) of dough and flatten it slightly in your palm.
- Place one unwrapped Cadbury egg in the center of the dough, then gently fold the dough around it, sealing all edges completely.
- Place the stuffed dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until edges are golden but centers look slightly soft.
- Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Chill dough for 15-20 minutes if too sticky to handle. Seal dough edges tightly around Cadbury egg to prevent chocolate leakage. Avoid overbaking to keep centers melty. Dough can be refrigerated up to 2 days before baking. Freeze baked or unbaked cookies for up to 2 months.
