Cook Time12 minutes

Ingredients

  • 254 g butter, unsalted (1 cup & 2 Tbsp)
  • 1 tbsp water
  • 100 g granulated sugar
  • 200 g light brown sugar
  • 1 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 egg
  • 1 yolk
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract (or vanilla bean paste)
  • 270 g all purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 3 tbsp malted milk powder
  • 4 oz chopped white chocolate divided in half
  • 4 oz chopped dark chocolate divided in half
  • 12 oz chopped Cadbury eggs divided in half

Instructions

Make the Brown Butter

  • Place butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Let melt.
  • Once butter is melted, stir every once in a while. The butter will bubble loudly.
  • As the water evaporates and the milk solids begin to toast, the bubbles will calm down and the butter will begin to look golden brown. Keep stirring at this stage, because the toasted brown butter bits can burn.
  • Pour browned butter into a large, heat proof bowl to cool.
  • Add water.

Make the Cookies

  • Preheat oven to 375.
  • Add the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and kosher salt to the bowl with the butter and whisk well. Let sit for three minutes before whisking again. Repeat one more time.
  • Add the eggs and vanilla. Whisk well to combine and continue whisking until the mixture is lightened and thick. Set aside.
  • Weigh the all purpose flour into a bowl. Add malted milk, baking powder, and baking soda. Whisk well.
  • Mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients with a spatula, being careful not to overman. Add half of the white chocolate, dark chocolate, and mini Cadbury eggs. Fold together.
  • Place dough in the refrigerator and chill for at least a half an hour.
  • Scoop dough using a #30 (1.22 oz.) cookie scoop about two inches apart onto a parchment lined baking sheet. Cover the tops of the dough balls with remaining chopped chocolate and eggs.
  • Bake cookies for 11-14 minutes. Once the cookies are out of the oven, use a round metal cookie cutter larger than the cookie to shape them. Sprinkle with flakey salt.
