Ingredients

Scale

Brown Butter

  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Mix-ins

  • 3/4 cup Cadbury mini eggs, roughly chopped
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips

Wet Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Brown the Butter and Prepare the Oven: Cut the unsalted butter into chunks and melt it in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir frequently as the butter foams and turns a deep amber color with a nutty aroma, which should take about 5 minutes. Immediately pour into a bowl, including browned bits, and let cool for about 15 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Prepare the Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt to evenly distribute the leavening agent. Set aside nearby for later use.
  3. Chop the Candies and Prepare Mix-ins: Roughly chop the Cadbury mini eggs into halves or quarters for even distribution, and combine them with the chocolate chips in a small bowl.
  4. Cream the Brown Butter and Sugar: Once the brown butter has cooled but is still pliable, pour it into a mixing bowl and add the brown sugar. Stir vigorously for 1-2 minutes until the mixture is well combined and slightly lighter in texture.
  5. Build the Wet Mixture: Add the room temperature egg to the brown butter and sugar mixture and stir until fully incorporated. Then add the vanilla extract and mix thoroughly for about 1 minute until smooth and cohesive.
  6. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients, Then Add Mix-ins: Pour the dry ingredient mixture into the wet mixture and stir gently until just combined, taking care not to overmix. Fold in the chopped Cadbury eggs and chocolate chips evenly using a spatula.
  7. Scoop, Bake, and Cool the Cookies: Using a cookie scoop or spoon, place 3 tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until edges are set but centers remain slightly underbaked. Let the cookies rest on the baking sheet for 10 minutes to set, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Using room temperature eggs ensures smoother incorporation and better texture.
  • Chop the Cadbury mini eggs into pieces for better distribution and to prevent sinking.
  • Do not overmix the dough to maintain soft, chewy cookies.
  • Letting the cookies rest on the baking sheet after baking helps them set without becoming hard.
  • Browned butter adds a rich, nutty flavor that elevates these cookies.
