Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (227g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup (165g) packed brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 2 1/4 cups (280g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups (270g) semisweet chocolate chips
  • About 12 mini Cadbury Eggs, chopped into quarters

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, beat softened unsalted butter with granulated sugar and packed brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Slowly add dry ingredients to the wet batter, mixing on low speed or folding gently until no flour streaks remain.
  6. Fold in semisweet chocolate chips evenly into the dough.
  7. Chop mini Cadbury Eggs into quarters carefully to avoid oozing filling.
  8. Scoop a heaping tablespoon of dough (about 30g), flatten slightly, place a piece of chopped Cadbury Egg in the center, then cover with another tablespoon of dough, sealing the edges.
  9. Place cookies on prepared baking sheet, spacing at least 2 inches apart.
  10. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are golden but centers look slightly soft.
  11. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Chill dough balls for 15 minutes before baking to prevent Cadbury Egg filling from leaking. Avoid overmixing flour to keep cookies tender. Baking time is critical to maintain gooey centers; start checking at 10 minutes. Can be baked in an air fryer at 325°F (160°C) for 8-10 minutes. For vegan or gluten-free versions, substitute dairy-free butter, coconut milk chocolate chips, flaxseed eggs, and gluten-free flour blends with xanthan gum.
