Mini Egg Easter Cookies
Deliciously chewy and sweet, these Easter themed cookies are jam packed with Cadbury mini eggs!
Ingredients
- 1 cup (227g) Unsalted Butter, at room temperature
- 3/4 cup (165g) Dark Brown Sugar
- 3/4 cup (150g) White Sugar
- 2 Large Eggs
- 1 tsp Vanilla
- 2½ cups + 1 tbsp (310g) All Purpose Flour, measured correctly (see above)
- 3/4 tsp Baking Soda
- 3/4 tsp Baking Powder
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 cup (180g) Mini Eggs, roughly chopped
- 1/2 cup (70g) Roughly Chopped White Chocolate
Instructions
- In a small sauce over medium heat, add butter and bring to a boil. Continue heating over medium heat, stirring constantly until the butter has turned a nutty brown color. It may be hard to see the color if your butter is foaming a lot, so periodically take it off the heat to check the color. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly in the fridge for 15 minutes. If you do not want to brown the butter, simply just melt the butter instead.
- In a medium to large sized bowl, add in flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Whisk well to combine, then set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl , add the browned/melted butter, brown sugar, and white sugar, and beat with a hand mixer until combined.
- Add eggs and vanilla, then beat until well-combined, scraping at the edges periodically. Add in the flour mixture and mix on low until combined, scraping at the edges. Ensure it is well combined, but do not overmix. Add in the mini eggs and chocolate, and fold with a spatula until well dispersed.
- Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using your hands or a scoop, arrange cookies to be about 2 tbsp each. Place all the cookies onto the baking sheet (do not worry about arrangement yet), and place into the fridge for 30 minutes to rest (don’t skip, see above!)
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Remove baking sheet from the freezer, and arrange cookies evenly onto 3 baking sheets fitted with parchment paper (I do 6-8 per sheet). Place into the oven and bake for 13 minutes.
- Note: If baking in batches, keep cookies cold before baking by keeping them in the fridge.
