Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, at room temp
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1/3 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
- 2 tablespoons whole milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 81 mini cadbury eggs
- 1/4 cup pink sanding sugar
- 1/4 cup blue sanding sugar
- 1/4 cup yellow sanding sugar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda and salt. Set it aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together the butter, sugar and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add the egg then beat in the peanut butter, milk and vanilla extract.
- Add the flour mixture to the stand mixer, beating just until combined.
- Scoop out 1 1/2-tablespoon portions of the dough and roll it into balls.
- Add each of the sanding sugars to individual bowls. Roll a third of the cookie balls into each color of the sanding sugar and arrange them on the baking sheets, spacing them 2 inches apart.
- Bake the cookies until they are set, 6 to 8 minutes, then remove them from the oven and let them cool for 2 minutes.
- Press three Mini Cadbury Eggs into the center of each cookie. Let the cookies finish cooling then serve.
Notes
Make sure the butter is at room temperature for easy creaming with the sugars.
