Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup Butter (softened)
- 1 cup Granulated Sugar
- 1 cup Brown Sugar
- 2 large Eggs (room temperature)
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups All-Purpose Flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
- 1 teaspoon Salt
Add-ins
- 1 cup Chocolate Chips
- 4 large Cadbury Creme Eggs (chopped)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s at the perfect temperature for baking the cookies evenly.
- Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, beat together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is smooth and creamy, creating a fluffy base for your cookie dough.
- Add Eggs and Vanilla: Incorporate the eggs one at a time along with the vanilla extract, beating thoroughly after each addition to combine fully and help with the cake-like texture.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt to evenly distribute the leavening agents and salt throughout the flour.
- Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, carefully mixing until just combined to avoid overworking the dough which can make cookies tough.
- Add Chocolate and Cadbury Eggs: Gently fold in the chocolate chips and chopped Cadbury Creme Eggs to evenly disperse the chunks without melting them into the dough.
- Portion the Dough: Using a tablespoon, scoop portions of dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them adequately to allow for spreading during baking.
- Bake: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until the edges turn a light golden brown, indicating they are perfectly baked but still soft inside.
- Cool: Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes to firm up, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely before serving.
Notes
- Ensure Cadbury Creme Eggs are chopped into small pieces to avoid large gooey spots in the cookies.
- Do not overmix the dough after adding the flour to maintain tender cookies.
- For best texture, use room temperature ingredients.
- These cookies are best enjoyed the same day but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
- You can substitute chocolate chips with chunks of your favorite chocolate bar if desired.
