Ingredients
 

  • 1 cup (227 g) butter
  • 1 cup (220 g) brown sugar
  • 1 cup (200 g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3 cups (420 g) all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup (90 g) white chocolate chips
  • ½ cup (90 g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup (170 g) mini cadburry eggs broken into pieces
  • extra mini eggs for topping the cookies

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 375 F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
  • Place the butter and sugars in a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Beat on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Add eggs one at a time, mix until smooth on low speed. Beat in vanilla.
  • Slowly mix in dry ingredients, being careful not to over mix. I usually stop when I still have some flour remnants around the bowl.
  • Chop up mini cadbury eggs, but not too small. Add two kinds of chocolate chips and chopped cadburry eggs and stir.
  • Scoop the dough into desired size cookie balls. I like to use a 3 tablespoon scoop for these. This way when I top the baked cookie with some cadbury eggs the proportions seem to look right.
  • Bake for 12 minutes, or until the edges start to turn golden brown. As soon as they are done baking, top the cookies with a few mini cadbury eggs and let them cool. The eggs will get nice and melty in the inside.

Notes

The butter and eggs should not be completely chilled from the fridge, but should also not be room temperature. I try to let them sit out for about 15-30 minutes before I begin my cookie making!
Feel free to substitute with any kind of chocolate chips that you prefer. 
I have given both cups and grams as measurements. Grams will be more precise, especially when measuring flour. If you don’t have a kitchen scale, no problem! Just lightly spoon flour into your measuring cup to insure its not packed in there. Light and fluffy is the key.
