    Ingredients

    The simple ingredients in this recipe can be found at most grocery stores and are typically ingredients that you may already have in your pantry and refrigerator!

    ingredients for mini egg cookies
    Ingredients for Cookies
    • 1 cup butter, softened (2 sticks – 8 tablespoons)
    • 1 cup light brown sugar
    • ½ cup granulated sugar
    • 2 large eggs, room temperature
    • 2 tsp vanilla extract
    • 1 teaspoon baking soda
    • 3 cups all purpose flour
    • 1 teaspoon salt
    • 1 cups milk chocolate chips 
    • 2 – 7 oz. bags of Cadbury mini eggs

    See the recipe card below for ingredients and instructions all in one place!

    Instructions

    Preheat oven to 350°.

    1. First, you’ll want to get a large bowl and put softened butter and brown sugar and white sugar in to it. Then, using a hand mixer or a stand mixer, mix sugars and butter on medium speed until it’s well combined and creamy.
      (About 3-5 minutes. Make sure there are no brown sugar clumps, and it has blended in well, as it can tend to clump up if it’s not a super fresh batch.)

    1. Next, add in one cracked egg, and mix with mixer until fully mixed in.
    2. Add in the other egg and mix again, until fully mixed in.
    3. Pour in vanilla extract and mix again, until fully mixed.

    1. In a separate bowl, pour in the flour, baking soda and salt. Mix together with a fork, as this helps “sift” the ingredients together.
    2. Pour a third of the flour mixture in to the wet ingredients (butter/sugar mixture), and mix together until combined.

    2. Finally, add the last third of the flour mixture in to the butter mixture and fully combine.

    1. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and scoop out small portions of cookie dough to roll in to smooth, rounded balls. (I used an ice cream scoop and filled it half-way, to make the size of the cookies you see here.)

    1. Gently press 3 Cadbury mini eggs in to the top of the cookies. (I didn’t push the chocolate eggs all the way down inside of the cookie but rather just a little so it would be secured on to the top of the cookie.)

    How Long to Bake Cookies

    1. Place baking sheet of cookie dough in to preheated oven, and bake for 12 minutes, or until the bottom edges start to turn a golden brown. (Baking time can differ for ovens.)

    1. Remove from oven and allow cookies to rest on baking sheet for about a minute, before moving to a cooling rack. (This helps the cookies fully cook through the center for a crispy edge and soft center.)
    2. Transfer the cookies from the baking sheet to cooling rack and allow cookies to fully cool before packaging them up for storing.

    Storage

    If you have leftover cookies or want to store them for later, perhaps as gift-giving to friends and family with some of these Easter Oreos, store them in an airtight container for 3-5 days.

    Substitutions

    If the chocolate chip style cookies aren’t your favorite thing, you can easily make classic peanut butter cookies, or even peanut butter chocolate chip cookies and add Cadbury eggs to the tops! Or, feel free to browse our favorite cookie recipes for more ideas!

    Love the look of an Easter egg cookie but can’t find Cadbury mini eggs? No problem! Use your favorite candy, like the springtime M&M’s or pastel Peanut M&M’s to use instead or your favorite Easter candy!

    Top tip

    If unable to bake all of the cookies at once, place the unbaked cookie dough in the refrigerator while others are baking and pull back out a couple of minutes before rolling and baking the remaining cookies.

      My kids love cadbury eggs, so they went crazy for these cookies! I may or may not have added a few more than 3 per cookie. 😉

      These were a huge hit last Easter and my kids have already asked me if we can make them again this year. So I’m keeping my eyes peeled for when those Cadbury mini eggs come out! 🙂
