I first saw this recipe on Pinterest and thought, "Well those look amazing. But nothing I've made from Pinterest ever turns out the way it looks, so I doubt they're that good."
Then I saw a similar recipe on another blog and it looked just as good, so I thought, well, I'll do a "test batch" and see how they turn out. Oh man. They're so easy, and so good.
The ingredients are very basic, and you don't even need an electric mixer. Just make sure you completely soften your butter. Do not microwave it to soften it, you need to let it come to room temperature. This may require taking it out of the fridge in the morning if you're making them in the afternoon, or even the night before. Butter will not go bad sitting on your counter. Promise.
Okay, so here's the recipe...
- 1 cup flour
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) SOFTENED butter
- 2 eggs, lightly beaten
- 1/2 tsp vanilla
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- 1 cup Cadbury mini eggs
- *Optional: 3/4 cup chopped walnuts
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 and grease a 9x9 baking dish.
2. Sift together the flour, baking powder, salt and sugar.
3. In another bowl, lightly beat the eggs with a fork, and then add them to the dry ingredients.
4. Add the softened butter and vanilla to the dry ingredients and mix well with a spoon to combine.
5. Pour the batter into the baking dish and spread evenly.
6. Bake for 30-35 minutes.
They kind of taste like a cross between cake batter and cookie dough with giant pieces of chocolate hiding inside. Just a warning...they're addictive, so cut them into small pieces. ;)
