Soft and chewy brown butter cookies packed with semisweet chocolate, crushed Cadbury Mini Eggs, and topped with chocolate bunny candies for a festive, bakery-style treat.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter, browned
- 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 large egg yolk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 3/4 cup semisweet chocolate chunks or chips
- 1 cup Cadbury Mini Eggs, lightly crushed
- 8 chocolate bunny candies
- 1 to 2 teaspoons flaky sea salt, optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Brown the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring often, until the milk solids are golden brown and smell nutty. Transfer to a large bowl and cool for 10 minutes.
- Whisk the brown sugar and granulated sugar into the browned butter until glossy. Add the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract, then whisk until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and sea salt.
- Fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Stir in the semisweet chocolate and crushed Cadbury Mini Eggs, reserving a small handful for topping.
- If the dough feels too soft, chill it for 15 to 20 minutes.
- Scoop the dough into 8 large portions and place them on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them well apart. Press extra chocolate and candy egg pieces on top, then place one chocolate bunny candy on each cookie.
- Bake for 11 to 13 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are still soft.
- Cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt if desired, then transfer to a wire rack.
- Serve warm or cool completely before storing.
Notes
- Do not overbake, the cookies should look slightly underdone in the center when removed from the oven.
- Let the browned butter cool slightly before adding the eggs.
- Roughly crush the Cadbury Mini Eggs so you keep small crunchy pieces.
- The dough can be chilled up to 24 hours before baking.
