05 - Gradually add dry ingredients to wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
06 - Fold in chocolate chips and chopped Cadbury Mini Eggs with a spatula.
07 - Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
08 - Press a few extra Mini Egg pieces on top of each dough ball for decoration if desired.
09 - Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden but centers remain soft.
10 - Let cookies cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to wire rack to cool completely.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • They're soft and chewy in the center with pockets of chocolate and crunchy candy that keep surprising you with each bite.
  • The whole thing comes together in under half an hour, so you can satisfy a cookie craving without a major kitchen project.
  • Cadbury Mini Eggs add that playful Easter magic, but honestly, the cookies are so good that you'll be making them year-round.
02 -
  • The Mini Eggs have a lower melting point than you'd think, so if you bake them much longer than 12 minutes, they start dissolving into the dough instead of staying crunchy—pull them out when the edges are just barely golden.
  • Chopping the Mini Eggs roughly instead of crushing them fine is the difference between getting that satisfying candy crunch and ending up with grainy-textured cookies.
03 -
  • Brown sugar brings moisture to cookies, but it can pack down in the measuring cup—spoon it in and press it gently rather than scooping straight from the bag.
  • If you can't find Cadbury Mini Eggs outside of Easter season, Cadbury Caramello pieces or even crushed Cadbury chocolate bars work beautifully as a substitute.
