Mini Egg NYC Cookies from Jane's Patisserie

Mini Egg NYC Cookies - made dough September 25, 2023 from Jane's Patisserie

125 grams unsalted butter

100 grams light brown sugar

75 grams granulated sugar

1 large egg

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

300 grams all-purpose flour

1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

100 grams milk chocolate chips

200 grams Cadbury mini eggs, roughly chopped

50 grams Cadbury mini eggs, whole

1. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, 2-3 minutes.
2. Add egg and vanilla extract, beating until just combined.
3. Add flour, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda and salt, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
4. Fold in milk chocolate chips and chopped mini eggs. 
5. Evenly portion dough into 8 dough balls, about 115 grams each. Press the whole mini eggs on top of each dough ball, distributing evenly. Cover and chill for at least 1 hour or freeze for at least 30 minutes.
6. When ready to bake, preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper and evenly space dough balls. Bake for 12 to 14 minutes or until edges are set and middles are no longer raw. Let rest on baking sheets for 15 minutes then transfer to wire rack to cool completely.

These are a little "off season" since the Cadbury mini eggs were from spring but I bought them at the time because I wanted to try this recipe. I finally got to it last month when I needed a "basic" chocolate chip cookie recipe with the add on of the mini eggs. These looked so good on the original blog from Jane's Patisserie plus I'd bought bicarbonate of soda for another recipe and wanted to use it. I don't have many recipes that call for it so might as well use it when I can.

These turned out fine although I can't say mine looks like Jane's Patisseries's. Maybe I didn't underbake them enough? The dough felt a little dry but I weighed everything since the recipe came with weight measurements so I don't think I got the ingredients wrong.

Next time I might cut back a little on the flour. Still, these were good if you're a milk chocolate fan (I am). I'm a fan of the Cadbury mini eggs although they do tend to add to the sweetness of the cookie, especially with the candy coating.
