Mini Egg Cookies

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Mini egg cookies are the perfect Spring treat leading up to Easter or to take to any Easter brunch or hunt. These cookies are a classic chocolately chip cookie that are gooey in the center and have just a pinch of sea salt for additional flavor.

Cadburry eggs add a sweet crunch and pretty pastel colors to this Spring cookie. These cookies are soft and finish baking right on the baking sheet after you pull them out of the oven. You can easily make a larger or smaller batch depending on the crowd you have and they freeze easily.

Directions

  1. Cream your butter and sugar in your mixing bowl. Using both brown sugar and regular sugar is important for these cookies.
  2. Add the egg and the remaining dry ingredients.
  3. Chop up or add your Cadbury eggs to your food processor. Reserve some for topping.
  4. The dough should begin to stick to the paddle as it's being rotated around in the mixing bowl, that's how you know it's ready to scoop and add to your baking sheet.
  5. Drop your cookies onto your parchment paper in about 2 tablespoon sized drops.
  6. Add a few more Cadbury eggs to each cookie before baking.
  7. Pop them in the oven for 10-11 minutes, checking on them periodically. Baking time will vary depending on your oven and the humidity in your home.
  8. Remove from the oven and, this is important, leave them on the baking sheet for about 5-10 minutes. They will continue to bake on the pan and you don't want to remove them too quickly.
  9. Top with a pinch of sea salt for extra flavor. Transfer to a cooling rack and allow to cool before decorating or sharing.
