Ingredients
For the Cookie Dough

- 3/4 cup Sugar Brings sweetness and a tender crumb.
- 3/4 cup Light Brown Sugar Adds a deeper caramel note for complexity.
- 1 large Egg Binds the ingredients and adds moisture.
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Enhances the overall flavor profile.

- 1 cup Chopped Cadbury Mini Eggs The star ingredient adding bursts of candy sweetness.

Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures your cookies cook evenly.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, sugar, and light brown sugar until it’s light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add in the egg and vanilla, mixing just until combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and baking soda.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until combined but not overmixing.
Cooking
- Gently fold in the chopped Cadbury Mini Eggs and chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
- Using a cookie scoop, drop mounds of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each ball to allow for spreading.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown but the center remains soft.
- Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes.
Serving
- Transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Enjoy warm with a glass of milk or as a delightful afternoon treat.
Notes
For chewier cookies, chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking. Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
