Cake & Loaf Bakery in Hamilton, Ont.—now closed, sadly—offered a slew of treats stuffed with Cadbury Mini Eggs every Easter, including these colourful chocolate chunk cookies.
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 egg, room temperature
1 tsp vanilla
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/8 tsp salt
3/4 cup mini eggs, crushed
1/2 cup dark chocolate chunks
Preheat oven to 350F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment.
Crush mini eggs in a plastic bag with a mallet or rolling pin.
Cream sugars with butter until fluffy.
Add vanilla and egg to butter mixture. Cream until combined.
Combine dry ingredients (flour, baking soda and salt) and then fold into butter mixture (not completely).
Add in mini eggs and chocolate chunks and stir until combined. Do not over mix.
Form cookie dough into balls (roughly 1 tbsp each) and drop onto parchment-lined cookie sheet. Bake 12-14 min, depending on desired texture (chewy or crisp).
