Cadbury Mini Egg Milk Chocolate Chip Cookie Ingredients

Let’s go over the ingredients used in this Easter chocolate chip cookie recipe. Using high-quality ingredients is key to producing the best tasting cookies!

• • Brown sugar: I like to use dark brown sugar for a deeper taste, but light brown sugar works just as well! Use your favorite brand of brown sugar. This is the one that I use in all of my baking. 
  • Granulated sugar: Use your favorite granulated or organic cane sugar! This is the one that I use in all of my baking.
  • Egg: Make sure that your egg is at room temperature for the best results.
  • Butter:  I always bake with salted butter. It doesn’t contain any natural flavorings that unsalted butter has. Just two ingredients; cream and butter. These cookies can be made with salted or unsalted butter. If you are using unsalted butter, increase the salt by ½ teaspoon.
  • Vanilla extract: Always use pure vanilla extract (not imitation) for the best tasting baked treats!
  • All-Purpose Flour: I always use unbleached all-purpose flour in my baking. You can also use pastry flour or all-purpose gluten free flour with great results as well!
  • Milk Chocolate: Lindt Milk Chocolate Bar is my favorite! It is high quality and the taste is amazing. I also like to use Ghirardelli Milk Chocolate Chips. Use your favorite brand of milk chocolate bar or chips!
  • Mini Egg Chocolates: I love Cadbury Mini Eggs, but you can use any other chocolate egg candies, or substitute with more milk chocolate!

HOW TO MAKE THE BEST CHEWY MILK CHOCOLATE CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES 

This recipe for Cadbury Egg Chocolate Chip Cookies is sooo easy to make! Let’s go through the steps to make sure you end up with the perfect chewy cookies

1. Beat sugars with egg. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, granulated sugar, and egg until light. 
2. Add butter and vanilla extract. Next, add the melted and slightly cooled butter to the bowl. Whisk for 2-3 minutes, or until pale and creamy. Add the vanilla and mix to combine.
3. Combine the dry ingredients in a separate bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder powder, and salt.
4. Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients. Add the flour mixture into the sugar mixture and mix with a rubber spatula or wooden spoon until there are no more dry spots.
5. Add chocolate. Once the cookie dough comes together, add the chopped chocolate and mini eggs. Mix until the chocolate is evenly distributed.
6. Scoop cookie dough. Using a large cookie scoop, arrange 6 cookie dough balls onto parchment lined cookie sheets.
7. Bake. Bake the cookies in a fully preheated oven until the edges are set and the centers are slightly underbaked. Cool on the pans for 5 minutes before transferring to wire racks.
