Cadbury Egg Cookies

Ingredients You’ll Need For the Cookies

Most of these ingredients are probably in your pantry already. The star of the show, of course, is the Mini Cadbury Eggs!

• All-purpose flour – Provides structure for the perfect chewy texture.
• Baking soda – Helps the cookies rise just enough.
• Salt – Balances the sweetness and enhances flavor.
• Unsalted butter, softened – Adds richness and creaminess.
• Light brown sugar, packed – For that soft, chewy bite.
• Granulated sugar – Adds just the right amount of crispiness.
• Large eggs – Binds the dough together.
• Pure vanilla extract – For a warm, comforting flavor.
• Semi-sweet chocolate chips – Because more chocolate is always better.
• Mini Cadbury Eggs – Some whole for topping, some crushed and mixed into the dough.

How to Make Cadbury Egg Cookies

1. Dry ingredients – In a medium bowl, stir together flour, baking soda, and salt.
2. Cream – In a separate bowl blend butter, sugars, and vanilla with a mixer until creamy. Add eggs, one at a time. Beat well.
3. Combine – Gradually add dry ingredients until just combined. Don’t overbeat. If using a stand mixer, you will want to use the paddle attachment when mixing in the flour. Stir in chocolate chips.
4. Scoop – Drop the rounded teaspoon onto an ungreased cookie sheet lined with a baking sheet or parchment paper. Place 3 to 4 mini Cadbury eggs on each cookie round.
5. Bake – Place the prepared baking sheet in the preheated oven. Bake at 375 degrees for 8 to 9 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from oven and cool cookies on a cooling rack.

Tips and Variations

• Extra Cadbury –You can add chopped or crushed Cadbury mini eggs into the dough as you are forming the cookie dough balls and have little hidden surprises on each cookie. 
• Chocolate chips – White chocolate chips, dark chocolate chips, semi-sweet chocolate chips, milk chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, or butterscotch chips can be used in place of, or in addition to, milk chocolate chips.
• Cookie scoop – Use a rounded tablespoon or medium cookie scoop to form the cookie dough into balls for a larger cookie.
• Chocolate cookie – Add a quarter cup of cocoa powder to the cookie dough for an extra chocolatey and gooey cookie.
• Wire rack – Place the baked cookies on a wire rack to finish cooling.
