→ Main Ingredients
01 -
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, softened
02 -
1/2 cup granulated sugar
03 -
1/2 cup light brown sugar
04 -
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
05 -
1 large egg
06 -
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
07 -
2 cups all-purpose flour
08 -
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
09 -
1/4 teaspoon salt
10 -
1/4 cup granulated sugar (for rolling the cookie dough in)
11 -
30 Cadbury Mini Eggs
# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a cookie sheet with silpat liner, parchment paper, or spray with cooking spray.
02 -
In a large bowl, or bowl of a stand mixer, beat together the butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar and peanut butter until light in color and fluffy looking. About 1-2 minutes. Add in the egg and vanilla extract. Blend together.
03 -
In a separate smaller bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, and salt. Stir with a whisk to break up any clumps.
04 -
Add half of the dry mixture to the butter/sugar mix and blend on low speed just until incorporated. Add the other half and blend just until mixed together.
05 -
Measure the 1/4 cup granulated sugar and place it in a bowl. Take a pinch of dough (about a tablespoon) and roll into a ball. Roll the cookie dough ball into the sugar and place on prepared cookie sheet. You will be able to put all 30 on one cookie sheet. 6 rows of 5 cookies each.
06 -
Bake for 7 minutes. The cookies will look the same (they will be slightly paler in color and look "puffy") but trust me, pull them out of the oven.
07 -
Immediately gently press a Cadbury Mini Egg into each cookie. The edges will crack and that's what you want!
08 -
Let the cookie sit on the cookie sheet for about 15 minutes. Eat one warm! Or at room temperature is good too. Store leftovers covered at room temperature. I put mine in a gallon-sized Ziploc bag.
# Notes:
01 -
Don't overbake these cookies - they should look slightly puffy and pale when you remove them from the oven.
02 -
The cookies will crack around the edges when you press the Cadbury eggs in - this is the desired effect.
03 -
These cookies are a great Easter or spring treat.
