tips to make Cadbury Egg Cookies

  • Do not overmix the dough once you add flour. Mix until just combined.
  • If dough feels too soft, chill 15–30 minutes for easier scooping.
  • Crush the mini eggs gently so you keep some pieces for texture and color.
  • Use parchment paper or a silicone mat to prevent sticking.

variation (if any)

  • Add 1/2 cup chopped nuts for crunch.
  • Use peanut butter chips instead of chocolate chips for a different flavor.

FAQs

Q: Can I use salted butter?
A: Yes. If you use salted butter, reduce the added salt to about 1/4 teaspoon.

Q: Can I make the dough ahead?
A: Yes. Chill the dough up to 48 hours before baking. This can deepen the flavor.

Q: Do I have to crush the Cadbury mini eggs?
A: You can leave some whole for color, but crushing some helps the candy mix into the dough.

Q: Can I freeze the cookie dough balls?
A: Yes. Freeze the scooped dough balls on a tray, then move to a bag. Bake from frozen, adding 1–2 minutes to bake time.
