How to make Cadbury Egg Cookies

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a saucepan, brown the butter over medium heat until golden and nutty in flavor, then let it cool slightly.
In a mixing bowl, combine the brown butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Mix until well combined.
Add the eggs and vanilla extract, and beat until smooth.
In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Fold in the chopped Cadbury mini eggs and chocolate chips.
Scoop tablespoon-sized amounts of dough onto a lined baking sheet, spacing them a few inches apart.
Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
Allow to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
