Ingredients Overview

All-purpose flour forms the structure of Cadbury Mini Egg Chocolate Chip Cookies – Maple et Chocolat, providing stability while keeping the interior tender.

Baking soda helps the cookies rise slightly and spread just enough to create crisp edges and soft centers.

Salt enhances sweetness and deepens the chocolate flavor.

Unsalted butter, softened to room temperature, adds richness and creates a creamy base when beaten with sugar.

Brown sugar brings moisture and chewiness thanks to its molasses content.

Granulated sugar contributes lightness and helps the edges turn golden.

Large eggs bind the dough and provide structure.

Pure vanilla extract adds warmth and rounds out the sweetness.

Semi-sweet chocolate chips offer depth and contrast to the sweeter milk chocolate mini eggs.

Cadbury mini eggs are the highlight. Lightly crushing them ensures both candy-coated crunch and creamy chocolate pockets throughout the dough.
