Giant Chocolate Cadbury Egg Cookie
A rich, soft, chocolate cookie studded with chopped Cadbury Eggs. Feel free to sub another add-in in place of the eggs if you like. We love this one with chopped PB M&M's, too!
Servings large 9" cookie
Equipment
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons real butter, almost melted see note in instructions
- ¼ cup sugar
- ¼ cup brown sugar lightly packed
- 1 egg yolk
- ½ teaspoon vanilla
- ¼ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup + 2 tablespoons all purpose flour
- 1 ½ tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
- ⅓ cup Cadbury Egg Candies roughly chopped in half
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350℉. Line a baking sheet with a piece of parchment paper.
- Place butter in heat-safe mixing bowl and microwave in 20 second intervals until almost melted. It doesn't need to be completely liquid, just incredibly soft. I usually heat until about half is melted and the other half is super super soft.
- Mix sugars into butter thoroughly and then egg yolk and vanilla. Sprinkle in flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt and combine everything together. Set aside a tablespoon or so of your chopped candies and mix the rest into the dough.
- Pull dough together into a large ball and press down on your baking sheet into a circle that is 6-6.5 inches in diameter.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, looking for crackling edges around the outer edge of the cookie. Cool on baking sheet for a few minutes and then transfer to a cooling rack.
Notes
- I'm slowly working to update all of our giant cookie recipes with weighted measurements. We've found when working with such small amounts, even a slight mis-measurement can alter the finished product, so weighing ingredients gives consistent results. If you have a food scale, we recommend you use it for this recipe. If not, no worries- I've provided some tips on how to best measure.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature. Homemade cookies are safe to eat for a week or more when stored this way, but they will definitely have the best taste and texture the first couple days.
