It’s coming. The onslaught of candy.
Are you frightened?
Not me. I love this time of year when my kids bring in bucketfuls of candy from the Easter Bunny and each set of grandparents. I pilfer their stash and eat all of the good stuff while they’re sleeping. Or I pack it away to bake with.
This year I’ve done a bit of preemptive baking. Cadbury Creme Eggs are my husband’s favorite. I’ve always been a little bit freaked out by them. The yolky center was just too much for my delicate sensibilites. I’m proud to say that I finally tasted my first Cadbury Creme Egg this week. It was good stuff.
Then I grabbed a tub of refrigerated cookie dough (sorry, guys, it’s been a busy week!) and stuffed the eggs inside chunks of dough.
This was the easiest treat I’ve made in a long time and my husband just told me he wants a divorce so that he can marry me all over again. Pretty sure that makes these cookies a win.
Cadbury Creme Egg Stuffed Cookies
Ingredients
- 1 recipe chocolate chip cookie dough or a tub of refrigerated dough
- Mini Cadbury Creme Eggs
Instructions
- Preheat oven according to the cookie dough directions. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
- Take two tablespoonfuls of dough and smash it flat in your hand to form a disc. Place an unwrapped mini egg in the center of the dough and fold the dough up around the egg to completely enclose it. If you leave any gaps, the egg will ooze out. If it's completely covered by dough, you won't have a problem.
- Repeat for as many cookies as you'd like to make.
- Bake according to cookie dough directions.

I used to steal my kids’ Easter, Halloween, Valentines, and even Christmas candy. Those were the days when they didn’t hoard it and they were too young to notice. Ahhhh… Great times … But now I can’t even find the stuff and have to be extra nice or make their favorite meal before they’ll give me any of their chocolate… But if I could steal their candy I’d make these cookies. They’d be better than chocolate chunk…

These look great! I have to agree with you about not really getting the whole cadbury creme egg craze…but these cookies are a good enough reason to change my mind. 🙂
Stephanie @ Girl Versus Dough says
Oh my wooooooord, the deliciousness going on here! I can’t barely DEAL. Yum!
Jocelyn @BruCrew Life says
I love that you steal your kids candy too 🙂 I’m thinking I need to steal a whole bunch more so I can stuff cookies with the candy instead of just stuffing my face!!! Awesome looking cookies!!! And you just had your first cadbury egg? Those are some of my fav Easter candies, but the kids know if I try to steal that one!

YUm. these look delish Karly. I love those BIG cadbury eggs, but after one I am full. Cookies I can totally get behind!

I am obsessed with Cadbury Creme eggs. Every year when they first start showing up in stores (which lately has been like December) I would go buy a 4 pack and eat them until I was sick. Every year. I remember in high school my friends making fun of me for it, but lest, the tradition continues.
And stuffing them in a chocolate chip cookie? Yeah, I love you for that.
Liz@HoosierHomemade says
Can I have some for breakfast? Those look amazing, Karly!
Thanks for joining us for the Spring Hop Party!
