How to make cadbury mini egg cookies

This is a basic drop cookie recipe and you are likely familiar with the process if you’ve made chocolate chip cookies before. I added cocoa to the recipe for a double chocolate cookie and it’s perfect!

You’ll start by creaming softened butter and sugar with an electric hand mixer.

Then add in the egg and vanilla and beat again.

Then in go the dry ingredients: cocoa powder, flour, baking soda and salt.

Once you have a fully mixed chocolaty dough, toss in your roughly chopped Cadbury mini eggs, but I like to leave a few whole just so you know exactly what’s in these cookies.

Then use a cookie scoop to place 1.5 tablespoon scoops of cookie dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment, leaving a few inches surrounding each cookie.

Using a cookie scoop ensures your cookies will all be the same size and it makes it super easy to drop the dough onto your cookie sheet.
