Recipe Ingredients
This recipe for Cadbury Mini Eggs Cookies uses ingredients you probably already have on hand. For this recipe you will need the cookie basics such as butter, sugar, flour, vanilla, baking soda, and chocolate chips, plus some additional ingredients. Here are some notes on the ingredients:
- Butter: be sure to use room temperature unsalted butter so that the ingredients mix together well.
- Chocolate Chips: here, I recommend using semi-sweet chocolate chips. However, milk chocolate, dark chocolate, or white chocolate would all be delicious.
- Cadbury Mini Eggs: you will need to lightly crush the eggs before folding them into the batter. To do so, place the mini eggs in a zip top bag and gently crush with a rolling pin or pan. I only crush them so they break in half, rather than shatter into small pieces.

How to Make Cadbury Mini Eggs Cookies
If you love Cadbury Mini Eggs, you are in for a real treat. This tasty recipe comes together in minutes and is a great addition to your Easter dessert menu!
To start, you will need to line two baking pans with parchment paper or nonstick baking mats. Preheat the oven and get out your mixing bowls.
Step 1: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside while you prepare the other ingredients.
Step 2: In a large bowl, use a handheld mixer to cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Mix in the egg and vanilla. Then, mix in the flour mixture until well combined.
Step 3: Fold in the crushed Cadbury Mini Eggs and chocolate chips. This will be a thick batter, so do the best you can to incorporate the ingredients.
Step 4: Once the batter is complete, scoop the dough on to the lined baking sheets using either a cookie scoop or spoon.
Bake the cookies for in a preheated oven for about 12 minutes. You want the cookies to be golden in color, but be careful not to over bake them.
Let the cookies cool on the baking pan for about 5 minutes. Then move to cooling rack to let cool completely… if you can wait that long!

- Don’t crush the Cadbury Mini Eggs too much. Leave large chunks of the candy so that you can really get the flavor in the cookie. I like to crush mine just so it splits in half.
- For the chocolate chips, use semi-sweet if you have them. If not, milk chocolate, dark chocolate, or white chocolate would work great.

Notes
- To crush the Cadbury Mini Eggs, place them in a large zip top bag and use a rolling pin or pan to break them up. I like to keep the pieces fairly large so there are big chunks of the eggs in each cookie.
- Be careful not to over bake the cookies. You want to pull them out of the oven when they just start to turn color.
- Store these cookies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.

Do you mix the egg, vanilla then flour into butter/sugar mix using the hand held mixer or just with a spoon? What size cookie scoop? Do they spread whilst cooking? Thanks
Angela Allison
Mix together the wet ingredients (egg, vanilla, butter, sugar) then add the flour to that mixture… you can use a handheld mixer on low speed. I use a small standard sized cookie scoop. Or you can just use a about a tablespoon and a half measurement. They will spread about an inch all around. Enjoy!
