​Ingredients Needed For Cadbury Mini Egg Cookies:

• 3 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 cup unsalted butter, (2 sticks) room temperature
• 1 cup light brown sugar, gently packed
• ¾ cup white sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 Tablespoon vanilla extract (I used my homemade vanilla extract for this)
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 9 ounces Cadbury mini eggs (a regular sized bag of Cadbury mini eggs, which you can find easily in the Easter candy aisle of your local grocery store or you can order them online too!)

Cadbury Egg Cookies Recipe

First, place mini chocolate eggs in a sandwich bag. Then, using a mallet or rolling pin smash the eggs until you get small pieces. Set aside the Cadbury egg pieces for later.

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Sift together the flour, baking soda, and salt in a large mixing bowl and set aside.

In the bowl of a stand mixer using a paddle attachment, cream butter and sugars together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Add the eggs and vanilla, being sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl as you mix everything together. Add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.

Add the chocolate chips and about 1/2 of the Cadbury egg pieces. Mix gently on low speed for about 30 seconds. Using a large cookie scoop, place cookie dough balls onto prepared baking sheet.

Keep cookies at least 3 inches apart and don’t put more than 8 cookies on a tray at once to prevent cookies from spreading. Press remaining Cadbury egg pieces into the top of the cookies.

Bake in preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes or until the edges of the cookie appear to be golden brown.

Let cookies cool on baking sheet for 1-2 minutes. Then, remove to wire rack to let cookies cool completely. 

How To Store These Delicious Cookies

Store baked cookies in airtight container for up to 5 days. If you want to freeze them, you can do that too! You can place the cookie dough balls into a freezer bag and freeze for up to 3 months.

Or you can even store baked cookies in a freezer ziplock bag too. So if you don’t end up eating all of them, you can save them for later!

I saved about half of my cookie dough so I can bake some fresh cookies a couple of weeks later too. I love having fresh chocolate chip cookie dough on hand so I can whip up some cookies whenever I am in the mood for them!
