Ingredients
 

  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • ¾ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 12 Tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled (1 ½ sticks )
  • 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups mini eggs (such as Cadbury, partially crushed, see note)
  • ½ cup chopped walnuts (optional, see note)

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.
  • Prepare the pans. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
  • Whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt in a medium sized bowl.
  • In a stand mixer, beat together the butter and sugars on medium until smooth and combined, about 1-2 minutes.
  • Add the egg, yolk, and vanilla, and beat again until combined, scraping the bowl as needed.
  • Add the flour mixture and mix on low speed until just combined.
  • Stir in 1 cup of the mini eggs and the walnuts, if using.
  • Using a Tablespoon sized cookie scoop, scoop heaping Tablespoon sized balls onto the parchment lined baking sheets, leaving at least 2 inches of space between them.
  • Bake until the edges are set, but the centers are still very soft and puffy, 11-13 minutes. As soon as they come out of the oven, gently press the remaining mini eggs on top. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet until they can be moved, about 5-7 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling.

Notes

  • You can use a knife to chop the candies, or place them in a zip lock bag and use a heavy rolling pin to crush them, leaving some big chunks intact.
  • For extra flavor, toast the walnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat for 5-6 minutes, tossing occasionally, until fragrant. Cool before adding them to the dough.
