Cadbury Egg Stuffed Cookies

Featured in: Weekend Basil-Home Favorites

These chocolate chip cookies are elevated with a luscious Cadbury Creme Egg hidden inside each one. The dough is buttery and chewy with semi-sweet chocolate chips, while the chilled eggs create a delightful gooey surprise when baked. Ideal for holidays or anytime you want a luxurious treat, the cookies bake golden with soft centers. Chilling the eggs before stuffing prevents melting and ensures the perfect texture.

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

7. Scoop about 2 tablespoons of dough and flatten into a disk. Place a chilled Cadbury Creme Egg in the center, then wrap the dough around the egg, sealing it completely. Repeat with remaining dough and eggs.
8. Place stuffed dough balls onto prepared baking sheets, spacing them 2 inches apart.

10. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung

Chilling the Cadbury eggs before stuffing helps them keep their shape while baking, ensuring the gooey center stays intact. For extra gooey centers, serve the cookies slightly warm right out of the oven.

Varianten und Anpassungen

You can swap semisweet chocolate chips for milk or dark chocolate chips depending on your preference. For a different twist, try using caramel-filled eggs instead of Cadbury Creme Eggs to add a rich caramel surprise inside.

Serviervorschläge
