Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Sugars
- 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
Dry Ingredients
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Add-ins
- 6 Cadbury chocolate eggs, chopped into small chunks
- Prepare the Dough: Beat the softened unsalted butter with both brown and granulated sugars until creamy and fluffy. Then add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until fully combined.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing just until a soft dough forms.
- Add Cadbury Chocolate Egg Pieces: Chop the Cadbury chocolate eggs into small chunks and gently fold them into the dough, being careful not to overmix so the chocolate pieces remain distinct and don’t melt completely.
- Shape and Bake: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them at least 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until edges turn golden but centers remain soft and gooey.
- Cool and Enjoy: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to set perfectly and retain a melty center.
Notes
- Use room temperature butter to create a smooth dough and enhance texture.
- Do not overmix the dough to avoid tough cookies; mix until ingredients just come together.
- Chop Cadbury eggs evenly so each bite has melty chocolate chunks.
- Watch the baking time carefully: bake until edges are set but centers look slightly underbaked for gooey cookies.
- Cool cookies on the baking sheet for a few minutes before moving to prevent breaking and maintain softness.
