# Ingredient list:

→ Dairy & Eggs

01 - 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
02 - 2 large eggs
03 - 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

→ Sugars

04 - 1 cup packed brown sugar
05 - 1/2 cup granulated sugar

→ Dry Ingredients

06 - 3 cups all-purpose flour
07 - 1 teaspoon baking soda
08 - 1/2 teaspoon salt

→ Chocolate

09 - 1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips

→ Candy

10 - 12 mini Cadbury Creme Eggs, unwrapped and chilled

# How to Make It:

01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
02 - In a large bowl, cream together softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, approximately 2-3 minutes.
03 - Beat in eggs one at a time, then add vanilla extract. Mix until fully combined.
04 - In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt.
05 - Gradually add dry ingredients to wet ingredients, mixing just until incorporated.
06 - Fold chocolate chips into the dough.
07 - Scoop approximately 2 tablespoons of dough and flatten into a disk. Place a chilled Cadbury Creme Egg in the center, then wrap dough around the egg, sealing it completely. Repeat with remaining dough and eggs.
08 - Place stuffed dough balls onto prepared baking sheets, spacing them 2 inches apart.
09 - Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until cookies are golden brown around the edges but still slightly soft in the center.
10 - Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • That moment when you bite into a warm cookie and the creamy center oozes out is genuinely worth the small extra effort.
  • You get to use actual candy as an ingredient, which feels like you're getting away with something delicious.
  • They look fancy enough to impress people but honestly require just moderate kitchen skills.
02 -
  • If your Cadbury eggs aren't cold enough when you wrap them, the dough will start melting the chocolate and it becomes nearly impossible to seal them cleanly—learned this the messy way.
  • Slightly underbaked is the secret here; pulling them out when the centers still look soft ensures you get that gooey, creamy surprise instead of a set, harder center.
03 -
  • Buy your Cadbury eggs a few weeks before Easter when stores stock them heavily; you'll avoid the picked-over selection and can experiment without worry.
  • If a cookie breaks open during wrapping, just pinch it back together and pop it straight into the oven—the baking will seal any seams.
