Cuisine: American
Serves: 16 bars
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chopped Cadbury eggs
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper for easy removal of the cookie bars.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar using an electric mixer on medium speed until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, add the vanilla extract and continue to mix until fully incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Fold in the chopped Cadbury eggs and chocolate chips using a spatula, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Spread the cookie dough evenly into the prepared baking dish, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
- Once baked, remove the cookie cake bars from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for about 10-15 minutes.
- After cooling, lift the cookie cake bars out of the pan using the parchment paper (if used) and transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, cut into 16 bars and serve. Enjoy your delicious Cadbury Egg Cookie Cake Bars!
Tips
- Make sure your butter is truly softened but not melted for the perfect cookie texture.
- Don't overmix the dough – this can lead to tough, dense bars.
- For extra gooey bars, slightly underbake by 2-3 minutes.
- Chop the Cadbury eggs into different sizes for varied texture and chocolate distribution.
- Use parchment paper for easy removal and clean cutting.
- Let the bars cool completely to allow them to set and develop their full flavor profile.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days – if they last that long!
