Ingredients
  

  • 0.5 cup unsalted butter browned
  • 0.5 cup light brown sugar
  • 0.25 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg room temperature
  • 0.5 tsp vanilla
  • 1 1/3 cup all purpose flour
  • 0.5 tsp baking soda
  • 0.5 tsp baking powder
  • 0.5 tsp salt
  • 0.5 cup crushed Cadbury mini eggs plus extra for topping
  • 1/4 cup chopped chocolate
  • 8 pieces chocolate bunnies

Instructions
 

  • In a small saucepan set over medium heat, brown the butter. Stir the butter occasionally until it turns amber in color and develops little brown specks.
  • Transfer the brown butter to a medium-sized mixing bowl and set it in the freezer for 5 minutes to chill. Aim for at least 90g of brown butter.
  • Once the butter has cooled down slightly, whisk in both sugars until well combined.
  • Whisk in the egg and vanilla until fully incorporated.
  • Fold in the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt until a few flour streaks remain.
  • Add the crushed Cadbury eggs and chopped chocolate, folding gently until no flour streaks are visible.
  • Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
  • Scoop out heaping 3 tbsp. portions of dough and place them on the cookie sheet with at least 2 inches apart.
  • Top each cookie with additional crushed Cadbury eggs if desired, and bake for 10-12 minutes until the edges start to turn golden brown.
  • After removing from the oven, use a larger cup or bowl to gently press the cookies into a round shape.
  • Press a chocolate bunny into each cookie while they are still warm, about 5 minutes out of the oven.
