how to make Cadbury Egg Cookies

Follow the ingredients and directions below. Use a stand mixer or a large bowl and a hand mixer. Mix gently so the candy pieces do not melt into the dough.

how to serve Cadbury Egg Cookies

tips to make Cadbury Egg Cookies

  • Use a large cookie scoop for even cookies and even bake time.
  • Do not over bake; take them out when the edges look set and the center is still soft.
  • If your dough looks too soft, chill for 20–30 minutes before scooping.
  • Stir the candies in gently so they do not break too much. You can press a few extra candies on top before baking for a pretty look.

variation (if any)

  • Swap Cadbury Mini Eggs for M&M’s for a similar look and crunch.
  • Replace half the chocolate chips with white chocolate for a sweeter cookie.
  • Add 1/2 cup chopped nuts for extra texture.

FAQs

Q: Can I use salted or unsalted butter?
A: You can use either. The recipe uses salted butter, so skip extra salt if your butter is very salty.

A: Yes. Bake smaller cookies 8 to 9 minutes and larger ones 10 to 12 minutes. Watch the edges for doneness.

Q: Do the Cadbury candies melt?
