Can you believe that Easter is almost here? What treats are you going to bake this year? You will want to add these to your list. These are the perfect cookies to bake for your Easter gathering.
Cadbury Eggs are a favorite treat of mine! I have always liked these – they have that wonderful pastel shell that cracks when you bite into it – and then it has that smooth chocolate on the inside – so creamy! YUM! When I saw these used in a chocolate chip cookie recipe I wondered why I didn’t think of that.
These Cadbury Egg Cookies combine colors of spring and crunchy textures to make the perfect cookie. Before you begin, toast coconut in a 350 degree oven for about 5-7 minutes, stirring once or twice, until the coconut is lightly browned and toasted. I toasted coconut flakes to put in the cookies and some larger coconut chips to add to the cookie tops once they were baked. Then preheat the oven to 350 degrees and prepare your baking sheets.
Cream the butter and sugars together for about 1 minute.
Add the eggs and vanilla and mix until combined.
Whisk the dry ingredients together and then add to the egg mixture. Mix on low until just combined.
Then add the most important and most delicious ingredients – the chopped up Cadbury Eggs, the chocolate chips and the toasted coconut. Oh my…can you imagine!
A bit of Easter heaven in a bowl…just look at that yummy combination!
I used a 2 tablespoon scoop, but you could also form the cookie dough into balls, with about 2 tablespoons of dough in each. Place about 2 inches apart on your prepared baking sheet. Bake about 10-12 minutes, until the edges are slightly golden brown.
When the cookies are fresh out of the oven, I add extra chopped up Cadbury Eggs and toasted coconut chips just to make them extra pretty. Let them cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet, then try one. This is the very best time to eat these cookies…when they are warm and melty…right out of the oven! Transfer the remaining cookies to a cooking rack and let cool completely.
Grab a glass of milk and relax with a big stack of these. This recipe takes chocolate chip cookies to a whole new level!
