I normally buy organic, fair trade chocolate and candy. But come Easter season, I can’t resist a bag or two of Cadbury Mini Eggs!
These little guys are so addictive that I often eat them all before getting around to baking them into cookies, but this year I held out. Thank goodness because these cookies are amazing 🙂
You could really add chopped Cadbury Mini Eggs to any chocolate chip cookie recipe and they’d turn out great. But below is my favorite chewy, melt-in-your-mouth version that provides the perfect amount of candy shell crunch in each bite.
Enjoy and Happy Easter!

Recipe type: dessert
Cuisine: American
Serves: 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 stick unsalted butter, at room temperature
- ½ cup dark brown sugar
- ¼ cup white sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 large egg
- 1¼ cup all-purpose or whole wheat pastry flour
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup Cadbury mini eggs, broken into pieces (I put them in a Ziploc bag and pound them gently with a hammer)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350.
- Cream butter and sugar together using a stand or hand mixer.
- Add vanilla and the egg and mix until combined. Scrape down sides of the bowl.
- In a separate bowl, stir together the flour, salt and baking soda.
- Add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, half at a time, and mix on low until just combined.
- Remove bowl from stand and gently stir in mini eggs and chocolate chips.
- Please small scoops of dough at least 2 inches apart onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Bake cookies for 8-10 minutes or until barely golden brown, then let cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes or until they’re easy to remove with a spatula onto a cooling rack.

I accidentally bought dark chocolate Cadbury eggs – and we just didn’t like them. I googled to see if there were any cookie recipes out there and came across yours. Yum!!! Thanks for sharing! 🙂 it doesn’t seem to be allowing me to rate for some reason. I want to give it give stars!

Had accidentally purchased the dark chocolate Cadbury eggs – and we didn’t like them. Went googling for a cookie recipe to get some use of them – and found yours. Thank you for sharing – delicious!!
