Instructions
1
|
Brown butter in a saucepan over medium heat until golden and nutty.
2
|
Remove from heat, pour in a large mixing bowl and stir in milk powder. Let the butter cool for 10-15 minutes.
3
|
When the butter has cooled, whisk in sugars till fully combined and glossy. It will look a little grainy.
4
|
Add in the egg, egg yolk and vanilla extract for about a minute. Whisk till combined and smooth.
5
|
Whisk dry ingredients in a separate bowl till combined, flour, cornstarch, salt, baking powder and baking soda.
6
|
Fold dry into wet just until almost combined, leave a few noticeable flour streaks.
7
|
Stir in chopped mini cadbury, eggs, and chocolate and mix gently just enough till combined and you don't see any more flour.
8
|
Cover and chill dough for 1 hour up to overnight.
9
|
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and with a cookie or ice cream scoop to portion out the dough into equal size balls, I scooped out 3 TBSP. Space out dough at least 2 inches apart. Optional to press extra mini cadburry eggs and/or chocolate pieces to the top of the cookie dough for appearance.
10
|
Bake at 350°F for 10-11 minutes until edges are light golden brown, and the middle of the cookie is soft and puffed.
11
|
Cool the baked cookies for 5 minutes on the hot sheet pan, then transfer to rack to fully cool. The centers will appear underbaked at first and will continue to cook through even on the cooling rack.

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Brown Butter Temperature Control 🧈Heat butter to medium heat until it turns golden amber with a nutty aroma (about 5-7 minutes), then cool completely before mixing—this prevents premature spreading while locking in that deep, rich flavor that defines bakery-style cookies.
- Milk Powder Amplification Secret 🥛The nonfat milk powder adds essential sweetness and tenderness; don't skip it or substitute it, as it's crucial for achieving that signature bakery texture and subtle caramel notes that complement the brown butter.
- Cornstarch for Crispy-Chewy Balance ✨The cornstarch in this recipe reduces gluten development, creating an incredibly tender crumb while the egg yolk adds richness—chill dough for at least 2 hours so the candies stay intact and create those prized crunchy pockets.
- Strategic Egg Yolk Placement 🥚Add the egg yolk separately after the whole egg to enhance moisture and richness without overdeveloping the dough, resulting in thicker, chewier cookies with better structure.
- Cadbury Egg Timing for Maximum Crackle 🐣Fold in the Cadbury Mini Eggs as the last step and slightly underbake (12-13 minutes instead of 14-15) so the chocolate shell cracks slightly during cooling, creating that delicate texture contrast you're after.
