Ingredients
Scale
Cookie Ingredients
- 1 cup Flour
- ½ teaspoon Baking Soda
- ⅓ cup Butter, room temperature
- ½ cup Brown Sugar
- ¼ cup White Sugar
- 1 Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- ½ cup Chocolate Chips
Frosting and Toppings
- 1 cup Vanilla Frosting
- Food Coloring (red, blue, green, yellow) – 2 drops each color
- ½ cup Cadbury Mini Eggs, chopped
Instructions
- Prepare the Cookie Dough: In a medium bowl, cream together the room temperature butter, brown sugar, and granulated white sugar until light and fluffy. Then add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing thoroughly to combine.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the flour and baking soda to the wet mixture, mixing until fully combined and no pockets of dry flour remain.
- Fold in Chocolate Chips: Use a spoon to gently fold in the chocolate chips to distribute them evenly throughout the cookie dough.
- Shape Cookies: Drop 8 to 10 large scoops of cookie dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them apart to allow spreading.
- Bake: Bake the cookies in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 12 minutes, or until golden around the edges.
- Cool Cookies: Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool completely on a wire rack before frosting.
- Prepare Colored Frosting: Divide the vanilla frosting evenly into 4 small bowls. Add 2 drops of red, blue, green, or yellow food coloring to each bowl respectively and stir until the color is well mixed.
- Frost Cookies: Using a butter knife or piping bags with round tips, apply the colored frostings to the cooled cookies creatively.
- Top with Mini Eggs: Chop the Cadbury Mini Eggs using a cutting board and sprinkle the pieces over the freshly frosted cookies to add crunch and festive color.
Notes
- Make sure the butter is at room temperature to ensure proper creaming with the sugars.
- Cooling the cookies completely before frosting prevents the icing from melting.
- Use parchment paper on the baking sheet for easy cookie removal and cleanup.
- Feel free to customize the frosting colors based on your preference or holiday theme.
- Store finished cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
