Chocolate Chip Cadbury Creme Egg Cookies
My favorite Easter chocolate chip cookies are these Cadbury Creme Egg Cookies with cadbury mini eggs, chocolate chips, and cadbury creme eggs stuffed in the centers. These gooey chocolate chip cadbury egg cookies are perfect for the Easter season.
Servings: 12 Cookies
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 egg, large
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 3/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp espresso powder, optional
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 3/4 cups + 2 Tbsp all purpose flour
- 3/4 cups cadbury mini eggs, chopped in fine pieces
- 3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 12-14 mini cadbury creme eggs
- sea salt, optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and line 2 large cookie sheets with parchment paper.
- In a standing mixer (or with a hand mixer), cream unsalted butter until light and fluffy. Add in the granulated sugar and brown sugar, and continue to cream the mixture until light and fluffy.
- Next, add in the egg. Mix until well combined.
- Add in baking soda, salt, espresso powder, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
- Add in the flour, and mix until the flour is combined.
- Lastly, add in the mini cadbury eggs and the chocolate chips. Mix until combined.
- Using cookie scoop, scoop out about 1 1/2 -2 Tbsp of cookie dough. Flatten the dough in the palm of your hand, and place a mini cadbury creme egg in the center.
- Fold the cookie dough around the creme egg, covering it completely with dough. (You might need to add a little extra dough to cover completely). Once it is covered, give the dough a quick roll between your hands and place on your baking sheet.
- Space the cookie dough about 2” apart (I generally make 6 cookies per cookie sheet). You should be able to get 12-14 cookies out of this recipe.
- Bake for 11-12 minutes, or until the cookies have set on top and are just beginning to turn lightly golden in color.
- Allow to cool for 5-10 minutes before transfering to a cooling rack.
- While the cookies are cooling, if desired, add more chocolate chips and crushed cadbury chocolate eggs on top. And, sprinkle with flaky sea salt.
- Serve slightly warm so the creme egg is still gooey inside.
