Cadbury Mini Egg Milk Chocolate Chip Cookie Ingredients
Let’s go over the ingredients used in this Easter chocolate chip cookie recipe. Using high-quality ingredients is key to producing the best tasting cookies!
-
- Brown sugar: I like to use dark brown sugar for a deeper taste, but light brown sugar works just as well! Use your favorite brand of brown sugar. This is the one that I use in all of my baking.
- Granulated sugar: Use your favorite granulated or organic cane sugar! This is the one that I use in all of my baking.
- Egg: Make sure that your egg is at room temperature for the best results.
- Butter: I always bake with salted butter. It doesn’t contain any natural flavorings that unsalted butter has. Just two ingredients; cream and butter. These cookies can be made with salted or unsalted butter. If you are using unsalted butter, increase the salt by ½ teaspoon.
- Vanilla extract: Always use pure vanilla extract (not imitation) for the best tasting baked treats!
- All-Purpose Flour: I always use unbleached all-purpose flour in my baking. You can also use pastry flour or all-purpose gluten free flour with great results as well!
- Milk Chocolate: Lindt Milk Chocolate Bar is my favorite! It is high quality and the taste is amazing. I also like to use Ghirardelli Milk Chocolate Chips. Use your favorite brand of milk chocolate bar or chips!
- Mini Egg Chocolates: I love Cadbury Mini Eggs, but you can use any other chocolate egg candies, or substitute with more milk chocolate!
HOW TO MAKE THE BEST CHEWY MILK CHOCOLATE CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES
This recipe for Cadbury Egg Chocolate Chip Cookies is sooo easy to make! Let’s go through the steps to make sure you end up with the perfect chewy cookies

Thanks, Emma!
Hi!
How do I freeze these cookies once they are baked? I'd like to make them today, to be served over the weekend. Should I freeze them or keep them in an airtight container at room temp?
Thanks!
Hi Prathna! To freeze the cookies, allow them to cool completely and then place them in a freezer ziploc bag. Freeze the cookies until you are ready to serve! To serve, simply remove the cookie from the freezer and allow to thaw to room temperature. You can also freeze unbaked cookie dough balls and bake the cookies when on the weekend for fresh baked cookies! To freeze the cookie dough, chill the cookie dough balls in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
Then, place the cold cookie dough balls into a zip-top bag. (Freeze cookie dough for up to 3 months.) When you are ready to bake the cookies, remove them from the freezer. Preheat the oven according to the recipe’s instructions, and bake the cookies for 2-3 minutes longer since the dough is frozen.
Enjoy!!
Made with a bag of Cadbury eggs I crushed in my blend tec (no other chocolate) and 1 teaspoon vanilla. I’m a huge fan, husband prefers regular semi sweet chocolate chip cookies, if that helps anyone.
