Preparation Steps

• Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
• Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
• In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add to the wet ingredients and mix until a soft dough forms.
• Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll into balls. Place on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
• Gently press a small indentation into the center of each dough ball using your thumb.
• Place one half of a Cadbury chocolate egg into each indentation.
• Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers still look soft.
• Remove from oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
