Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients (Dry):
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Main Ingredients (Wet):
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 egg
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Decoration and Frosting Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon unsalted sweet cream butter
- 3 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2–3 tablespoons hot water
- 24 mini Cadbury eggs
Instructions
- Craft the cookie base by thoroughly blending softened butter and sugar until achieving a fluffy, pale consistency in a stand mixer.
- Incorporate egg and vanilla extract, mixing until the mixture becomes uniform and silky.
- Separately whisk dry ingredients – flour, baking powder, and salt – to eliminate potential lumps.
- Gently fold dry ingredients into wet mixture, stirring minimally to prevent overworking the dough.
- Use a small scoop to create uniform dough spheres, placing them evenly on a prepared baking sheet.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F for 8-10 minutes, watching for delicate golden edges.
- While cookies are warm, gently create a center indentation using your thumb, allowing space for filling.
- Transfer cookies to a cooling rack, allowing them to reach room temperature.
- Prepare chocolate frosting by melting butter and integrating cocoa powder smoothly.
- Whisk in powdered sugar, vanilla, and hot water until achieving a glossy, spreadable consistency.
- Carefully fill each cookie’s thumb impression with rich chocolate frosting.
- Crown each cookie with a festive mini Cadbury egg as a delectable finishing touch.
Notes
- Ensure butter is at room temperature for easier creaming and smoother cookie texture.
- Use high-quality cocoa powder to enhance the chocolate frosting’s rich flavor.
- Chill dough for 30 minutes before baking to prevent excessive spreading and maintain cookie shape.
- Adjust hot water in frosting gradually to achieve desired consistency, preventing it from becoming too runny or thick.
- For gluten-free option, substitute all-purpose flour with a 1:1 gluten-free baking blend.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days to maintain freshness.
- Experiment with different mini chocolate eggs or seasonal variations for festive twists.
