Make Ahead & Storage
Make ahead:
You can prepare the dough ahead of time and store it covered in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Scoop into dough balls before chilling for easy baking later.
Storage:
Store baked cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. They’ll stay soft and chewy, especially if slightly covered.
Freezing:
Freeze unbaked dough balls for up to 2 months. Bake directly from frozen, adding 1–2 extra minutes to the bake time.
Tip: These cookies are best enjoyed slightly warm when the white chocolate is still soft and melty.
Ingredients
(Makes 5 cookies)
- 3 tablespoons (42g) butter, room temperature
- 3 tablespoons (38g) light brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon (12g) granulated sugar
- 1 egg yolk, room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ⅛ teaspoon almond extract
- ¼ cup + 1 tablespoon (40g) all-purpose flour
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons white chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons chopped Cadbury mini eggs
- 1–2 teaspoons rainbow sprinkles (funfetti)
- Flaky sea salt, for finishing (optional)
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat oven to 350°F and line a small baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2: In a medium bowl or stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar on medium-high speed for 1–2 minutes, until light and fluffy.
Step 3: Add the egg yolk, vanilla extract, and almond extract. Mix for about 1 minute, until smooth and fully combined.
Step 4: Add the flour, baking soda, and salt. Mix on low speed until just combined and no streaks of flour remain.
Step 5: Use a spatula to fold in the white chocolate chips, chopped Cadbury mini eggs, and rainbow sprinkles. Reserve a few to press on top.
Step 6: Scoop about 3 tablespoons of dough per cookie and roll into smooth balls. Place 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 7: Press extra chocolate and Cadbury pieces onto the tops of the dough balls.
Step 8: Bake for 11–13 minutes, until the edges are set and lightly golden but the centers are still soft.
Step 9: Let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
Step 10: Sprinkle lightly with flaky sea salt if desired and enjoy.
Recipe Tips
- Don’t skip pressing extra mix-ins on top—this gives that bakery-style look
- If your dough feels too soft, chill for 10–15 minutes before baking
- For thicker cookies, roll dough taller rather than wider
