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 detest the regular sized creme eggs… they’re just too sickly sweet for me, but MAN OH MAN, could I ever feast on those cookies! This has been Pinned, Stumbled, and generally shouted about from the mountaintops!

Oh man, these look soooooo good!!! I think Easter candy/treats are my favorite!

Perhaps you should call this a ‘serving suggestion’ rather than a recipe?
We all get busy, and there’s nothing wrong with shortcuts, but ‘cook according to packet instructions’ isn’t a recipe.
I’m glad your husband liked them though, and they’ve made your family happy. I suppose that’s what counts!

Technically, a recipe is a set of instructions and ingredients for preparing a food. I’m pretty sure this qualifies, but call it what you want. You’re welcome to use your favorite cookie dough recipe for this, as stated in the instructions.

Oh my- these look amazing! I have been buying Cadbury eggs every time I go to the store and I can’t stop eating them (nor do I want to). They are amazing, so these cookies must be too!
