Description

These Cadbury mini egg cookies are crispy on the edges and soft and chewy in the center. They are filled with crunchy-chocolaty mini eggs and are a deliciously easy treat to make for Easter!


Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup (114g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup (100g) lightly packed brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1 1/4 cups (156) all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 cup chopped Cadbury mini eggs, divided

Instructions

  1. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter and brown sugar until combined. Then whisk in the egg and vanilla extract until smooth and glossy.
  2. Stir in the flour, baking soda and salt until almost combined. Then fold in 3/4 cup of the chopped Cadbury mini eggs, reserving 1/4 cup for topping.
  3. Cover and chill in the fridge for 20 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat your oven to 325F and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
  4. Using a medium cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded cookie dough 2″ apart onto the prepared baking sheets. Top with the remaining mini eggs.
  5. Bake for 9-11 minutes or until the edges are lightly browned and the center is almost set. Let cool on the baking sheet for 5-10 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.

Notes

Leftover cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for 3-4 days.
