FAQs
What are Cadbury Mini Eggs?
Cadbury Mini Eggs are candy-coated milk chocolate eggs, often available during the Easter season. They have a crunchy shell and creamy chocolate center.
Can I use Cadbury Creme Eggs instead?
You can, but they’re best used whole in the center of the cookie or chopped carefully, as they’re softer and gooier.
Can I make these ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the dough in advance and refrigerate it for up to 2 days before baking.
Do I need to chill the dough?
Chilling isn’t required, but it can help the cookies hold their shape and enhance flavor.
Can I freeze the cookie dough?
Yes, portion the dough and freeze on a tray, then transfer to a bag. Bake from frozen, adding 1–2 extra minutes.
What kind of cocoa powder should I use?
Use unsweetened cocoa powder—either natural or Dutch-process will work, depending on your taste preference.
Why did my cookies spread too much?
Make sure your butter isn’t too soft, and measure the flour accurately. Chilling the dough can also help reduce spreading.
Can I add nuts?
Absolutely! Chopped pecans or walnuts would add a great crunch and contrast to the sweetness.
Are these cookies overly sweet?
They’re rich and sweet like a Crumbl cookie, but the cocoa and salt balance it out. You can reduce the sugar slightly if preferred.
What can I serve with these cookies?
Enjoy with a glass of milk, a scoop of vanilla ice cream, or serve as part of a spring dessert tray.
