Cadbury Choclate Chip Cookies

 Ingredients


  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
  • 1 1/2 cups light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups chopped Cadbury Mini Eggs
  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • 1 cup toasted coconut
  • Flaked sea salt, for sprinkling on cookies

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with a Silpat baking mat or parchment paper and set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and sea salt. Set aside.
  • Using a stand mixer, cream butter and sugars together for about 1 minute. Add in the eggs and vanilla and mix until combined.
  • Add the dry ingredients and mix on low until just combined.
  • Stir in the chopped Cadbury Mini Eggs, chocolate chips, and toasted coconut.
  • Form the cookie dough into balls, about 2 tablespoons of dough. Place on prepared baking sheet, about 2 inches apart.
  • Bake cookies for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are slightly golden brown. Remove from oven and sprinkle with sea salt. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes. Transfer to a wire cooling rack and cool completely.

Notes

Tip- to chop the Cadbury eggs, place them in a Ziploc bag and smash with a rolling pin. Make sure you don’t smash them too much, you don’t want them completely crushed. 
 You can chill the cookie dough for 24 to 72 hours if you want to enhance the flavor of the cookies. The cookies will keep in an airtight container for 3-4 days. You can also freeze the cookie dough and baked cookies.Recipe and photo courtesy of Two Peas and Their Pod
