1/2 cup granulated sugar
04 -
1 large egg
05 -
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
→ Dry Ingredients
06 -
1 1/4 cups unbleached flour
07 -
1 teaspoon baking soda
08 -
1 teaspoon kosher salt
09 -
1/2 cup quick oats
→ Mix-ins
10 -
1 cup mini chocolate chips
11 -
1 1/4 cups Cadbury mini eggs, crushed (divided)
# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
02 -
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine softened unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Use a hand mixer or stand mixer to cream the ingredients together until light and fluffy.
03 -
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined, ensuring the mixture is smooth and creamy.
04 -
Gradually add the unbleached flour, baking soda, and kosher salt to the wet mixture. Combine until no streaks of flour remain. Mix in the quick oats until evenly distributed.
05 -
Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips and 1 cup of the crushed Cadbury mini eggs into the cookie dough, ensuring they’re evenly dispersed.
06 -
Use a 3-tablespoon cookie scoop (size 20) to create evenly-sized cookie dough balls. Arrange them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them 3 inches apart to allow room for spreading.
07 -
Bake for 8-9 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are just beginning to turn golden brown. Be careful not to overbake for soft, chewy results.
08 -
Remove the cookies from the oven and immediately top each one with the remaining crushed Cadbury mini eggs. Allow the cookies to cool completely on the baking sheet for at least 10 minutes before serving.
# Notes:
01 -
To crush Cadbury mini eggs easily, place them in a ziplock bag and gently pound with a rolling pin. This prevents mess and ensures uniform pieces.
02 -
Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 2 months for longer storage.
03 -
For an extra flavor twist, consider adding a handful of chopped nuts or shredded coconut to the batter.
