These Easter Cadbury Mini Egg Cookies take chocolate chip cookies to a whole new level! There is rich and creamy chocolate goodness in every bite.
Cadbury Mini Eggs
Awww! The anticipation of walking into the grocery store after Valentine’s Day and seeing those dark purple Cadbury Mini Egg bags lining the shelves. They are irresistible. A few bags go in into my cart with the thought that I better buy them now before they sell out. Of course, I will save them until just before Easter.
I get home and hide them high in a cupboard. But, the willpower to not open the bag and have just one weakens. I pop one in my mouth. I carefully crack off the outside layer. Then, I just let the smooth chocolate melt on my tongue. The milk chocolate is so creamy. I will eat just one more. But, that turns into another and then another. Can you see where this is going? Pretty soon, the whole bag is gone!
Cadbury Mini Egg Cookies
The self-discipline to not eat them all only comes from the desire to make these delicious cookies. The love of Cadbury Mini Eggs is shared by the whole family, and we have Elise to thank for creating this cookie recipe.
You can’t go wrong adding Cadbury Mini Eggs to anything in my opinion and these cookies are no exception! They are especially good, warm and melty out of the oven. Warning – you will not be able to eat just one. They are that good.
You can mix the Cadbury Mini Eggs into the dough as you are forming the cookie dough balls and have little hidden surprises on each cookie. Or, form the cookie dough into a ball and place the mini eggs on top. This makes the cookies more colorful and festive, as pictured.

What kind of mixer is that? I love it and want one!! Not as cumbersome as my kitchenaid, and I love that you can use it without the lid. Anyone know who makes it??
Favorite Family Recipes says
YES! We LOVE this mixer, it is called a Bosch Mixer and you can find it right here: https://amzn.to/2R3b66a

I liked this recipe but I found the cookies were a bit dry. So I added way more chocolate chip cookies.
I was also able to make 60 plus cookies with this exact recipe
Janet Ollivier says
These cookies are very good, but you can’t get 5mini eggs on one tsp of dough. Also, I bought 2x10oz packages of eggs and used every one -3 to a cookie!
Whitney says
These cookies are fabulous! The only downfall is not being able to get the Cadbury eggs year round!
Swathi says
Cabury egg cookies we can enjoy any days. My kids will love it, This cookie is best not only during Easter any time of year.
Molly Kumar says
These are so delicious and love the addition of Cadbury eggs in them.
Lathiya says
The cookies look so cute and perfect for the occasion. It will be a hit among kids for sure.
Selena says
These cookie were tasty, but really, really dry. I would almost cut the flour in half if you want a more moist cookie. Also, you probably get closer to 30 cookies, and HAVE to cook them about 15 mins, not the initial 8-9 as stated in the recipe!
Alyssa says
I got a whopping 68 cookies!!! Some are smaller and some are bigger, cooked between 6 and 7 minutes. Not dry at all
jess says
Made these today and they are yummy! Very sweet. Cut the flour by about 1/4-1/2 cup as per another reviewers recommendation and the cookies were buttery and not dry, they flatten quite a bit and brown on the edges for a crunchy edge, chewy middle. 1-3 mini eggs per cookie is plenty.
E says
This recipe was not great, dry and cakey and followed everything to a T ensuring not to over beat or over bake.
Also the mini eggs loose their flavour when baked in the oven for some reason, would maybe find a way to put them on after?
Favorite Family Recipes says
Sorry this recipe did not work out for you! Cookie recipes can be tricky because a lot of it depends on altitude, oven type, and brand of ingredients. We hope you’ll give some of our other recipes a try!
Melanie B says
Pretty great Easter cookie recipe! I would recommend maybe a bit less flour as mine came out like a shortbread cookie rather than a moist chocolate chip cookie. Though it was still really great and didn’t even last a day in the house.
Ellen says
Was your butter cold or room temp? Thanks !
Favorite Family Recipes says
