Ingredients
- 2 sticks brown butter unsalted, 1/2 cup
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
- 2 large eggs room temperature
- 1 tsp baking soda
- pinch salt
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 2 cups all purpose flour bread flour works well too
- 1/2 cup quick oats
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup light brown sugar
- 1/2 cups chocolate chips
- 1 1/2 cups Cadbury eggs crushed
Instructions
- Brown the unsalted butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Stir every few seconds until the butter starts to brown and smells toasty. There should be little brown specks that form at the bottom of the pan as well. Take it off the heat and slightly cool the butter before you move on to the next step.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and leave eggs out to reach room temperature before using.
- Grab a large mixing bowl and in it, combine the white and brown sugar with the browned butter and beat with an electric mixer for about 4-5 minutes until combined. Add in a splash of vanilla extract and beat in one egg at a time until smooth.
- Sift the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a small bowl. Add the dry ingredients to the sugar mixture and mix well, making sure to scrape the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula as you go.
- Then add in the oats and chocolate chips and chopped Cadbury mini eggs. Reserve some of the crushed mini eggs to top the cookie dough balls with later.
- Scoop into balls and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, at leash 2 inches apart from each other. Press in some extra cadbury eggs on top then bake for 8-10 minutes or until edges are crispy and set.
- Let the cookies cool on a wire rack and enjoy! Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
