- 1 cup (226 g) unsalted butter, softened
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup (200 g) packed brown sugar
- ½ cup (100 g) granulated sugar
- 3 cups (375 g) all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1½ cups (255 g) semisweet chocolate chips
- 12 mini Cadbury Creme Eggs, unwrapped and chilled
Instructions
- Step 1
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Step 2
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Step 3
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then add vanilla extract; mix until combined.
- Step 4
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Step 5
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until incorporated.
- Step 6
- Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Step 7
- Scoop about 2 tablespoons of dough and flatten into a disk. Place a chilled Cadbury Creme Egg in the center, then wrap the dough around the egg, sealing it completely. Repeat with remaining dough and eggs.
- Step 8
- Place stuffed dough balls onto prepared baking sheets, spacing them 2 inches apart.
- Step 9
- Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until cookies are golden brown around the edges but still slightly soft in the center.
- Step 10
- Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung
Chilling the Cadbury Creme Eggs before stuffing is crucial as it helps them maintain their shape during the baking process. Make sure the eggs are completely sealed within the dough to prevent leaking. If the dough becomes too soft while working with it, refrigerate for 10-15 minutes to make handling easier. Don't overbake these cookies—they should still look slightly underdone in the center when you remove them from the oven, as they will continue to set as they cool. The cooling time on the baking sheet is essential for the structure to firm up properly.

Varianten und Anpassungen
For chocolate lovers, swap the semisweet chocolate chips for milk chocolate or dark chocolate chips depending on your preference. You can also use caramel-filled Cadbury eggs instead of the classic creme eggs for a different flavor profile. Add a pinch of sea salt on top of the cookies before baking for a sweet-and-salty twist. For a more decadent version, mix in some white chocolate chips along with the semisweet ones. If you want smaller cookies, use the mini mini eggs and reduce the dough portion accordingly, adjusting baking time to 10-12 minutes.
Serviervorschläge
These cookies are best served slightly warm when the Cadbury egg center is at its gooiest—simply reheat in the microwave for 10-15 seconds if needed. Serve them on a festive platter for Easter brunch or spring gatherings. Pair with a cold glass of milk, hot coffee, or even a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an over-the-top dessert experience. They make wonderful gifts when packaged in decorative boxes or cellophane bags tied with colorful ribbons. For a party presentation, dust the cooled cookies with powdered sugar or drizzle with melted chocolate.
