These soft, chewy sugar cookies are stuffed with melty Cadbury Mini Eggs, creating a gooey chocolate surprise inside. Perfect for Easter celebrations and quick to make.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ¼ cups (280 g) all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup (170 g) unsalted butter, softened
  • ½ cup (100 g) granulated sugar
  • ½ cup (110 g) packed brown sugar
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • About 24 Cadbury Mini Eggs (approximately 1 ½ cups)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter with granulated sugar and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until combined; mixture may look slightly curdled.
  5. Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed just until no dry streaks remain. Avoid overmixing.
  6. Scoop about 1 ½ tablespoons of dough and flatten slightly in your palm. Place 1-2 Cadbury Mini Eggs in the center, then fold dough around them, sealing completely to form a ball. Repeat for remaining dough and eggs.
  7. Place the stuffed dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, spacing about 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are set and lightly golden but centers remain soft.
  9. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.

Notes

Seal the dough completely around the Mini Eggs to prevent melting candy from leaking. Chill dough balls for 15 minutes before baking to maintain shape and candy shell integrity. Avoid overmixing dough to keep cookies tender. Use room temperature ingredients for best texture.
