- 2 cups all-purpose flour 🌾
- 1 teaspoon baking soda 🥄
- 1/2 teaspoon salt 🧂
- 1 cup chocolate chips 🍫
- 4-6 Cadbury Creme Eggs 🥚
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Mix Butters and Sugars: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until it’s light and fluffy.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Gradually mix in the flour, baking soda, and salt until just combined.
- Add Chocolate Chips: Stir in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
