    Tips for Cadbury Mini Egg Cookies

    • Use Cadbury Mini Eggs!: Make sure to use Cadbury MINI eggs and not the chocolate Cadbury eggs which are larger and have a creamy center.
    • Freeze Mini Eggs when they are available so you can enjoy these cookies past the Easter season!
    • Top with Flaky Sea Salt: Top the freshly baked cookies with a pinch of flaky sea salt.

    Storing Cadbury Cookies

    Storing: Make sure you allow your cookies to cool completely before storing. You can keep them in an airtight container at room temperature for 1-2 weeks. They'll keep longer in the refrigerator.

    Freezing: Baked and cooled Cadbury egg cookies will store in a freezer-safe container for up to 6 months.

    Freezing Cookie Dough: You can freeze this cookie dough. Scoop into balls and place on a parchment lined baking sheet or use these cookie dough freezing trays. Check out this post for How to Freeze Cookie Dough for tips on saving cookie dough for later.

    FAQs for Cadbury Mini Eggs Cookies

    Can you buy cadbury mini eggs all year round?

    Cadbury mini eggs are only available during the Easter season. You can freeze the eggs when they are in season to use later in the year.

    How do you chop up Cadbury eggs?

    The easiest way is to place the Cadbury eggs in a ziploc bag and use a meat mallet or rolling pin to hit until they crack.

    Why do I need to chop/smash Cadbury eggs?

    You can certainly use whole mini Cadbury eggs, but they tend to be pretty large inside of the cookie. By smashing them, it distributes the chocolate throughout the cookie giving it a perfect bite every time.

    Why do you use mini Cadbury eggs instead of chocolate chips?

    Two reasons: crunchy candy shell and amazing chocolate flavor. You will not only get the crunch from the outside of these cookie, but you also get a burst of flavor and crunch from the shells of the mini Cadbury eggs.

    How can I tell when the cookies are done baking?

    These cookies should have a soft center with cracks running through it. The edges should be golden brown and firm to the touch.
