# Steps:

01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
02 - In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
03 - In a large bowl, beat the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until light and creamy.
04 - Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
05 - Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
06 - Fold in the chocolate chips and chopped Cadbury Mini Eggs with a spatula.
07 - Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
08 - Optionally, press a few extra Mini Egg pieces on top of each dough ball for decoration.
09 - Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but centers are still soft.
10 - Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The contrast between soft, buttery cookie dough and that satisfying crunch when you bite into a Mini Egg is genuinely addictive.
  • They're simple enough to make on a whim but fancy enough to impress at any Easter table or spring gathering.
  • Kids love decorating the tops, and somehow these feel more special than regular chocolate chip cookies.
02 -
  • Don't overbake these—the moment the edges turn golden, pull them out; they look almost raw in the center but that's exactly how they should be.
  • Cadbury Mini Eggs can vary in hardness depending on storage and brand, so taste one before chopping to decide if you want larger chunks or smaller pieces.
03 -
  • Use an ice cream scoop or cookie dough scoop for perfectly uniform portions that bake evenly every time.
  • If your Mini Eggs seem to sink or disappear during baking, gently fold them in at the very last moment so they stay visible and textured.
