Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
  • ¾ cup packed light brown sugar
  • 3 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 ½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 ½ cups Cadbury Mini Eggs, roughly chopped, plus extra for topping

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth and glossy.
  2. Whisk in eggs one at a time, then whisk in vanilla extract.
  3. In a separate bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
  4. Gradually add dry ingredients to wet ingredients, mixing with a spatula just until combined.
  5. Gently fold in chocolate chips and chopped mini eggs.
  6. Cover bowl and refrigerate dough for at least 30 minutes.
  7. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  8. Scoop dough into 2-tablespoon balls, placing them 2 inches apart on sheets. Press extra mini egg pieces on top.
  9. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until edges are set but centers are soft.
  10. Let cookies rest on baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Chilling the dough is crucial for thick, fudgy cookies. For a gluten-free version, use a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend. Dough balls can be frozen and baked from frozen, adding 1-2 minutes to bake time.
