Key Ingredients for Cadbury Egg Cookies
Here are the ingredients you will need to whip up these scrumptious cookies:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup Cadbury Creme Eggs, chopped (or mini Cadbury eggs)
Step-by-Step Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Cream the Butters and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth and fluffy.
- Add Peanut Butter & Eggs: Mix in the peanut butter, followed by the eggs and vanilla extract. Beat until well combined.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
- Fold in the Cadbury Eggs: Gently fold in the chopped Cadbury Creme Eggs, being cautious not to over mix.
- Scoop the Dough: Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, place dough rounds onto a lined baking sheet, about 2 inches apart.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-14 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers look slightly underbaked.
- Cool and Enjoy: Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
What to Serve Cadbury Egg Cookies With
These cookies are the perfect partner for a chilled glass of milk or a cup of hot cocoa. For a special touch, serve them alongside a scoop of vanilla ice cream to create an indulgent dessert experience. You can also whip up some homemade chocolate sauce to drizzle over the top – pure bliss!
Top Tips for Perfecting Cadbury Egg Cookies
- Butter Temperature: Ensure your butter is softened, not melted, for the best texture.
- Storage & Freshness: Store your cookies in an airtight container to keep them soft. They stay fresh for up to a week!
- Batch Freezing: Consider freezing cookie dough balls before baking. You can pop them straight into the oven for freshly baked cookies anytime!
- Substitutions: If you’re not a fan of peanut butter, you can use almond butter or simply leave it out for classic cookies filled with Cadbury goodness.
- Avoid Overbaking: Keep an eye on your cookies while baking – they should be soft and slightly underbaked when you take them out to keep that chewy texture.
Storing and Reheating Tips
To store your Cadbury Egg Cookies, let them cool completely, then place them in an airtight container. They will last up to a week at room temperature or can be kept in the refrigerator for longer freshness. For reheating, simply pop them in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds or in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for a few minutes to get them warm and gooey again.
With these tips and tricks, you are all set to create your very own batch of Cadbury Egg Cookies! These delightful treats will not only satisfy your sweet tooth but will bring a smile to anyone who tries them. So gear up, start baking, and enjoy every delicious bite!
