Cadbury Mini Eggs Easter Cookies

These Cadbury Mini Eggs Easter Cookies are so cute to look at. They’re thick, full of chocolate mini chocolate eggs and chopped chocolate.

If you’ve been following this blog for some time now, maybe you’ll remember me talking about how much I’ve always wanted to post a recipe for Easter. So when I shared the Easter Surprise Mini Bundt Cakes, I was so happy.

We are not celebrating Easter, but I love the pastel colors of Cadbury mini eggs and I love how cute the crème eggs are. And I love eggs, so let’s just say I am celebrating eggs.

I’ve always wanted to share Cadbury Mini Eggs Easter Cookies, but it’s always too late for me. It’s either I go to the grocery store too early (no Easter chocolates on display yet) or find them when Easter is over. Boo!

Lucky me, I got them this year, just in time for Easter.

There are so many recipes with Cadbury mini eggs, but I went with cookies because they’re easy and they look pretty.

DID I FREEZE THE COOKIES BEFORE BAKING?

No, I didn’t. I know that some cookie dough needs to be kept in the fridge, but this one doesn’t need to firm up – you can bake the shaped cookie dough right away. This is my go-to cookie recipe when I have a craving for thick, chocolaty cookies.

I love how these cookies turned out – thick, chewy, chocolaty and not too sweet. I love the pretty colors of the mini eggs and I love the crunch it gives. For me, they’re perfect to give way this Easter or even to have on your table.

NOTES:

• I used 70% mild dark chocolate and chopped them. You can use milk or white chocolate but this may affect the sweetness of the cookies.
• You can also make the cookie dough ahead of time and bake the next day.
• Regular brown sugar can be used instead of dark brown sugar.
