Ingredients
Scale
For the Cookies:
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ¾ cup packed brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- ¾ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup mini candy-coated chocolate eggs (such as Cadbury Mini Eggs), coarsely chopped
Instructions
1. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
2. Cream the Butter and Sugars:
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes with a hand mixer or stand mixer).
3. Add the Egg and Vanilla:
- Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
4. Mix the Dry Ingredients:
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
5. Fold in the Mix-ins:
- Using a spatula, gently fold in the chocolate chips and chopped mini eggs until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
6. Scoop and Shape the Cookies:
- Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Gently flatten each cookie slightly with the back of a spoon or your fingers.
7. Bake the Cookies:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are set but still soft. The cookies will continue to firm up as they cool.
8. Cool and Serve:
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy their chewy, festive goodness!
