Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup (100g) light brown sugar, packed
  • 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 1/4 cups (155g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup (135g) mini chocolate candy eggs

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
  2. In a large bowl, beat the softened unsalted butter with light brown sugar and granulated sugar until fluffy and pale, about 3 minutes.
  3. Beat in the large egg and pure vanilla extract until combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until incorporated to avoid overmixing.
  6. Gently fold in the mini chocolate candy eggs without crushing them.
  7. Cover and refrigerate the dough for 15-20 minutes to firm up.
  8. Using a teaspoon or small cookie scoop, drop dough balls about 1 inch apart on the prepared baking sheets.
  9. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until edges are golden and centers look set but soft.
  10. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Chill dough for 15-20 minutes to prevent spreading and enhance texture. Avoid overmixing after adding flour to keep cookies tender. Use parchment or silicone mats for even baking and easy cleanup. If cookies flatten too much, chill dough longer or add a bit more flour. Cool cookies on a wire rack to maintain crisp edges.
