We have taken our super popular Jumbo Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe and dazzled it with some Cadbury Mini Eggs & dark chocolate chips. These Cadbury Mini Egg Chocolate Chip Cookies are the BEST cookies you could bake up this spring.
Servings: 18 cookies
Calories: 310cal
Cost: $5
Equipment
- KitchenAid Stand Mixer
- rubber spatula
- baking sheet
- cookie scooper
- parchment paper
- food processor
Ingredients
- ¾ cup butter, unsalted softened at room temp.
- ¾ cup light brown sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 1 large egg
- ½ cup Karo® Corn Syrup light variety
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup Cadbury Mini Eggs crushed
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350° F. Line one large baking sheet or 2 standard-sized baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Add your Cadbury Mini Eggs to your food processor and pulse for 2-4 seconds to crush them. You do not want them to be total dust. It is okay if some are almost whole.
- Using your stand mixer with the paddle attachment, add the butter and sugar– beat on medium speed until light and fluffy.
- Add the corn syrup, egg, vanilla, salt, and the baking soda. Mix for 1 minute until fully combined. Lower the mixer speed, and slowly add in the flour on the low mixing setting.
- Once combined, scrape down the sides, and then add the chocolate chips and candies.
- Roll the cookie dough into 2 tablespoon-sized balls. Combine the balls and roll them into a large ball. *see collage image.
- Space out cookies 6 to one sheet. Bake for 9-11 minutes or until golden brown. These cookies will have light golden-brown edges and will "fall slightly" as they cool. If you want to showcase more eggs, consider gently adding a few whole ones to the soft cookies tops (gently press them in) before they cool.
- Allow cookies to cool for 5 minutes before adding them to a cooling rack. Repeat the baking process until all cookies have baked.

Storing & Freezing
Freezing baked cookies
These cookies can be enjoyed warm out of the oven. Be sure to allow them to fully cool before storing them in an air-tight container for up to 5 days. They can also be baked, and then frozen for up to 3 months in an air-tight container. Thaw at room temperate to enjoy. We love to quickly warm our cookies in the microwave for 10-15 seconds for that fresh out of the oven taste.
Freezing cookie dough
Additionally, you can freeze the cookie dough balls. Form cookie dough into 2-tablespoon sized balls and place them close together on a baking sheet to freeze in the freezer for about 2 hours. Once frozen, transfer balls to an airtight, freezer-safe container. Simply add an extra 2-3 minutes to the bake time from frozen. We always make sure to mark the recipe, bake temperature & time on our frozen dough.
