Cadbury Egg Cookies
These Cadbury egg cookies are loaded with candy and chocolate chips, and have the best chewy oatmeal texture. They are so delicious!
As long and dreary as this winter has felt, I am finally starting to see some signs of spring on the way! Sure, it’s still raining almost every day, but the daffodils and crocuses in my front yard are about ready to bloom. I’ve been browsing the gardening section at Target and getting so excited about planning my vegetable garden this year. There still isn’t much sunshine to be had, but I can imagine it being warmer soon! Since Easter is the quintessential spring holiday, I thought it would be fun to share a few new Easter recipes on the blog. These Cadbury egg cookies are so fun and festive for spring, and absolutely delicious!
The combination of flavors and textures in these cookies is totally fantastic. They’ve got a thick, rich, and chewy oatmeal base, and are loaded with chocolate chips and Cadbury mini eggs. The edges are crisp, but the middles stay soft and chewy. I love how much chocolate is packed into every cookie!
I used a three tablespoon scoop (about the size of an ice cream scoop) to make the dough balls for my cookies, but you could easily make them smaller or larger if you want. You will probably need to adjust the baking time up or down by a minute or two if you make a different size of cookie. You’ll want to pull the cookies out of the oven when they’re just starting to get golden brown around the edges, but they still look soft and puffy in the middle. Let them cool on the baking sheet for 5-10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool.
I think these cookies are best when they’re warm from the oven, so the chocolate is melty and gooey. They’re so delicious with a cold glass of milk! They will keep for about a week in an airtight container. The cookies stay soft and chewy, and are still totally delicious several days later!
If you’re looking for a quick and delicious Easter treat, these Cadbury egg cookies are perfect!
