Description
This cadbury egg cookies recipe is chocolatey, colourful, and perfect for the Easter holiday.
Ingredients
- 1 cup Butter (softened)
- 3/4 cup Granulated Sugar
- 1 cup Brown Sugar
- 2 Eggs
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 2 cups Flour
- 1 tsp Baking Soda
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 2 cups Cadbury Mini Eggs (roughly chopped or crushed)
Instructions
- Prepare: Preheat the oven to 350° F and prepare two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add the softened butter, brown and granulated sugars. Beat with an electric mixer until fluffy. Add the eggs and vanilla and mix again.
- Dry Ingredients: In a separate mixing bowl, add and mix the flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Combine Wet and Dry: Pour half the dry ingredient mixture into the wet mixture and partially mix on low. Add the remainder of the dry mixture and mix until the dough is fully incorporated. Fold in 1 cup of the chopped mini eggs into the cookie dough using a rubber spatula.
- Bake: Roll dough into heaping tablespoon-sized balls and place each an inch apart on the baking sheets. Place a few of the remaining chopped mini eggs into the top of each cookie and bake for 7-10 minutes.
Notes
Once you remove the freshly baked cookies from the oven, tap the baking sheet on the counter a couple time to create crinkles in the cookies.
If you forget to give the butter time to get to room temperature, you can also just place it in the microwave at 10 second intervals until softened (but not melted).
Consider cracking the eggs into a separate bowl before adding them to the rest of the ingredients. This will help you easily pick out any shells that may occur during cracking.
To crush the mini eggs, transfer them to a sealed ziplock bag and use a rolling pin to gently crush them (but leave some large chunks).
After you roll the cookies into balls and place them on the baking sheet, use your fingers to rub off any cookie dough on top of the Cadbury mini eggs. This will ensure that the beautiful mini egg colours show once the cookies are baked!
