Cadbury Mini Egg Cookies
The perfect cookie for Easter with Cadbury mini eggs and chocolate chips.
This Easter I wanted to make a simple dessert, Cadbury mini egg cookies. I decided to make my go to chocolate chip cookie recipe and add Cadbury mini eggs. The combination of my two favorites blew my mind. I mean is it even Easter without mini eggs. Now I have to admit I bought two bags of mini eggs and before I even thought about making these I had finished a bag. Why are they so dang delicious.
This chocolate chip cookie recipe is both soft and chewy. The key to that is both sugar and light brown sugar. Also taking the cookies out of the oven right as they are slightly golden.

My favorite way to make cookies
Now over the years I have learned that my favorite way to bake cookies was using parchment paper. But it seemed so wasteful. For Christmas this year my sister in law gifted me these silicone baking mats. They have been a total game changer with the amount of baking I have been doing recently.
If you like this recipe you might also like my chocolate chip coffee cake or rolo cookies.
Cadbury Mini Eggs
I like a combination of broken and intact mini eggs. Take about 3/4 of the mini eggs and with the flat side of my knife push down with my palm breaking the egg. You can also do this with a rolling pin and a ziplock bag.

How to make Cadbury Mini Egg Cookies
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a medium sized bowl or a stand mixer cream together butter, sugar and brown sugar. Incorporate vanilla and egg mix for about 15 seconds. Don’t over mix.
In a separate bowl sift together flour, sea salt and baking soda. Next gradually mix dry ingredients into wet ingredients until combined. Add in Cadbury mini eggs and chocolate chips.
Roll dough into balls on a greased or lined cookie sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes. You just want them ever so golden. The edges will be slightly brown. Don’t over bake these. Cool on a baking rack and try not to eat them all before Easter.

If you don't like an as full cookie use 1/2 cup of mini eggs.
These cookies were so easy to make and so yummy! The only hard part was smashing the eggs. I was so excited to have an Easter treat today make since we didn’t get to have our usual get-together this year! Highly recommend trying this one out!
I am so glad that you liked them. I took the back flat side of my knife to the eggs and smushed them. Chopping them was difficult.
I used Eggies in these instead of Cadbury mini eggs. I chopped them by hitting them with the rolling pin (in a baggie) Yummy!
The cookies turned out great! They were also so easy to make. Thank you so much for this recipe, will definitely use it in the future 🙂
This just made my day! So glad you liked them.
This recipe is awesome!! I made them for family and it had everyone asking for the recipe. So hard to find a good cookie recipe for me but this one was spot on!
I made these yesterday and they were delicious! I just re-read the recipe and it says to ‘sift the flour, sea salt and baking soda’. I didn’t do this but they still turned out delicious!
I’m going to re-try this recipe today and not forget to sift 😛
Awesome! A quick way to do this is just to mix it with your whisk. Thats my cheat!
The dough alone is amazing. I can’t wait to try a cookie once they’re done. Can you also freeze the dough and use it later?
I’ve only had the dough so far — but it’s delicious and I’m sure the cookies will be too! <3
I just made these cookies. I cut the mini eggs in half. I think next time I would cut the chocolate chips in half instead.
For me I find these cookies too sweet. Can I cut back in the sugar?
I know my family will like them.
My dough was very crumbly. I don’t know what I did wrong
Was your butter softened? If it was too cold it could be crumbly.
My beautiful sister is undergoing chemo treatments and this was her only request for Easter! Making tonight! 🙂
You are so sweet to make them for her! Sending your family love and prayers.
Best cookie recipe ! I don’t even chop the mini eggs! Everyone loved them.
These cookies were a hit and didn’t last long in our house!! Soft, buttery, and oh, so delicious!
After Easter, I went back and bought a few more bags to make more. 🙂
Made these today. Easy recipe. Tasted delicious. Will make again. Thank you for sharing.
I haven’t made these but had to comment. My email this morning from you….”Have some extra mini eggs on hand?” I have never had any extra Cadbury eggs on hand. I don’t even have any by the time easter rolls around. But this recipe sounds delicious.
Just made these. Doubled the batch and sent some to my son in an Easter care package. I am not crazy about the Cadbury eggs, I’m more of a Dark chocolate gal- so I added dark chocolate chips! Really yummy, hoping they make it to California okay.

Cookies were a big hit in my house.
Can I double this Recipe?
Yes you definitely can. I did for Easter.
Can I freeze baked cookies? Or should I freeze the unbaked dough for later?
I like to freeze the cookie dough. Form them into balls then add a minute or two to the bake time. No need to thaw.
I made this on a whim because someone gave me a bunch of the cadbury eggs so I did a bunch of subs of different items. No egg so used a oil, water, baking power mix. no brown suger so i used a grade A maple syrup. they where very good though. thanks for the recipe. I found leaving out the chocolate chips and crushing the cadbury eggs instead of choping them caused the candy to mix more and taste like a sugar cookie but with that cadbury flavor.
