Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup cold salted butter
- 1 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1/2 cup white granulated sugar
- 2 eggs
- ½ tablespoon vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
- 2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- â…› teaspoon salt
Mix-ins
- 1 bag (9 ounces) Cadbury mini eggs, chopped
- 3/4 cup milk chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line two large cookie sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking and set aside.
- Cream Butter and Sugars: Slice the cold salted butter and place it into the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Add the light brown sugar and white granulated sugar. Beat on medium speed until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, stirring just until combined to avoid overmixing.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. This sifting and combining ensures even distribution of leavening agents and prevents clumps.
- Mix Dry and Wet Components: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet mixture in the stand mixer. Mix on low speed just until combined, taking care not to overmix as this would lead to tough cookies.
- Add Candies and Chips: Fold in the chopped Cadbury mini eggs, milk chocolate chips, and white chocolate chips evenly throughout the dough using a spatula to ensure every cookie will have a sweet surprise.
- Portion Dough: Using a tablespoon measure, scoop about 2 tablespoons of dough and roll into balls. Place them onto the prepared cookie sheets with at least 2 inches of space between each ball to allow spreading during baking.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 9 to 11 minutes, or until the cookie edges turn golden brown but the tops remain slightly soft and puffy, indicating perfect doneness without overbaking.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the cookie sheets from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the sheets. This helps them set up and prevents breakage. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
Notes
- Chopping the Cadbury mini eggs helps distribute the candy throughout the cookie and prevents large chunks from dominating the texture.
- Keep the butter cold to achieve a thicker cookie with a nice chewy center.
- You can substitute the milk and white chocolate chips with your preferred chocolate varieties for a customized flavor.
- Do not overmix the dough to keep the cookies tender and soft.
