Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup mini chocolate eggs, such as Cadbury Mini Eggs or similar (crushed or whole)
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a separate large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown
- sugar until smooth and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, and mix until fully incorporated.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring just until combined.
- Gently fold in the mini chocolate eggs and white chocolate chips (if using).
- Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place them onto the
- prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Flatten each cookie slightly with the back of a spoon or your hand.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. The center should still look slightly soft.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- If you prefer, you can use regular chocolate chips instead of white chocolate chips.
- You can also customize the cookie with different Easter-themed candies such as jelly beans or M&Ms for a unique twist.
- These cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or frozen for longer storage.
