Equipment

  • 1 small saucepan
  • 1 Mixing bowls
  • 1 baking sheet lined with parchment paper
  • 1 cookie scoop or spoon
  • 1 spatula
  • 1 cooling rack

Ingredients
  

  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 large egg room temperature
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 3/4 cup Cadbury mini eggs roughly chopped
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips

Instructions
 

  • Cut unsalted butter into chunks and brown over medium heat in a small saucepan, stirring frequently, until deep amber with a nutty aroma, about 5 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Pour browned butter with browned bits into a bowl and let cool about 15 minutes.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
  • Roughly chop the Cadbury mini eggs and combine with chocolate chips in a small bowl.
  • Stir brown sugar into the cooled brown butter until combined and slightly lighter, about 1-2 minutes.
  • Add the room temperature egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture; stir until smooth.
  • Gradually add dry ingredients to wet mixture, stirring just until combined to avoid overmixing.
  • Fold in chopped Cadbury eggs and chocolate chips gently to preserve candy pieces.
  • Drop 3-tablespoon portions of dough onto prepared baking sheet, spacing 2 inches apart.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are set but centers remain slightly underbaked.
  • Cool cookies on baking sheet for 10 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Use room temperature egg for better texture.
  • Do not overmix dough to keep cookies soft.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
  • Chop candies to prevent sinking in the dough.
