# What You’ll Need:

→ Dry Ingredients

01 - 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
02 - 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
03 - 1/2 teaspoon salt

→ Wet Ingredients

04 - 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
05 - 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
06 - 1/2 cup granulated sugar
07 - 2 large eggs

→ Mix-ins

09 - 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
10 - 1 1/2 cups Cadbury Mini Eggs, roughly chopped

# How to Make It:

01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
02 - In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
03 - In a large bowl, beat the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until light and creamy.
04 - Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in vanilla extract.
05 - Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
06 - Fold in chocolate chips and chopped Cadbury Mini Eggs with a spatula.
07 - Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
08 - Press a few extra Mini Egg pieces on top of each dough ball for visual appeal.
09 - Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden but centers remain soft.
10 - Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The contrast between chewy cookie dough and crispy candy shell is genuinely addictive.
  • They bake in under fifteen minutes, so you can have homemade Easter treats without spending your whole afternoon in the kitchen.
  • People assume they're complicated, but they're just a basic cookie dough elevated by one brilliant idea.
02 -
  • Overbaked cookies are the biggest mistake I see; they should look barely done when you pull them out because they keep cooking on the hot sheet.
  • If your dough is warm or greasy looking after mixing, chill it for fifteen minutes—warm dough spreads too thin and bakes unevenly.
03 -
  • Brown your butter before mixing if you want a deeper, nuttier flavor—it takes five minutes and transforms an already good cookie into something restaurant-worthy.
  • Press whole Mini Eggs gently into warm cookies right after they come out of the oven if you forgot to decorate them beforehand; the heat helps them stick slightly and they look intentional instead of haphazard.
