Ingredients
Scale
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups Cadbury Mini Eggs, chopped or whole
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
- Beat in the large eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Gently fold in the Cadbury Mini Eggs. You can chop some for varying textures or leave them whole.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie. For presentation, press a few extra Mini Egg halves onto the top of each dough ball.
- Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown and the centers are just set. Do not overbake.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- For the white chocolate drizzle (optional): Once cookies are completely cooled, combine white chocolate chips and coconut oil (if using) in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring thoroughly after each, until melted and smooth.
- Transfer melted white chocolate to a piping bag (or use a spoon/fork) and drizzle artistically over the cooled cookies in a zig-zag pattern.
- Let the drizzle set for 15-20 minutes at room temperature or a few minutes in the fridge before storing.
