Royal Dark Cadbury Mini Egg Chocolate Chip Cookies
I heard that last year they didn’t sell the Cadbury Mini Eggs Royal Dark so this year when I saw some bags at Target I knew I had to try it! Not only do they taste amazing alone as a treat, but they also make these cookies incredible! And of course, if you choose to use the regular milk chocolate Cadbury mini eggs they are so good too!
The recipe is the same using the Royal Dark Chocolate Cadbury Mini Eggs. Sometimes I made half a batch with milk and half with dark. I personally prefer the dark chocolate Cadbury Mini Eggs. My family and I actually loved the Royal Dark Chocolate Cadbury Mini Eggs so much that we ate too many and I had to run to the store the morning before I took these pictures so I would have enough for the cookies. haha
Storage:
Keep the leftover cookies in an airtight container.
To freeze the dough: place the dough balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and stick them in the freezer for about 1 hour. Place the frozen dough balls in a large gallon zip lock bag and keep them in the freezer for up to 3 months. (Note, when ready to bake it will likely need a little more time to bake than listed in the recipe.)
Tips:
If the cookies spread more than you would like you can use a circle cookie cutter, biscuit cutter, or a fork to press the sides in.
Top with flakey sea salt right as the cookies come out of the oven for a delicious taste.
I highly recommend stocking up on Cadbury Mini Eggs around Easter time but if you don’t have any on hand using M&M’s is a fantastic alternative.
I only share the best recipes on my blog that are tried and true! I tested this recipe SO many times the last few months and this recipe you have here truly is PERFECT! When I enjoyed this delicious cookie from the above picture I was amazed at how incredible it was. HEAVEN!
ENJOY these cookies my friends!

- 1 egg
- 2 tsp. vanilla extract
- 2 tsp. cornstarch
- 1 tsp. baking soda
- ½ tsp. salt
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2/3 cup Cadbury mini eggs, crushed
- 1/3 cup Cadbury mini eggs, slightly crushed, for the tops
Instructions
- In a bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream butter, and brown and granulated sugar together on medium speed, beating until light and fluffy about 3 minutes. Add in egg and vanilla and mix until incorporated on low speed. Turn the mixer up to medium-high and mix for 1 minute.
- Scrape down the sides of the bowl if needed. Add the cornstarch, baking soda, and salt. Mix for 30 seconds then add the flour 1 cup at a time. Mix until fully incorporated.
- Add the chocolate chips and crushed Cadbury mini eggs and either beat for a few seconds on low speed or fold in by hand.
- Drop 2 tablespoons of the dough or roll into balls onto a lined baking sheet. Top with the slightly crushed Cadbury mini eggs and more chocolate chips. Cover with plastic wrap and chill the dough for at least 1 hour or longer. (Overnight or a couple of days works too.) Or chill for 20-25 minutes in the freezer.
- When ready to bake, preheat oven to 350 F. Spread cookie dough on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spaced 2 inches apart. Bake for 8-10 minutes until the edges are just golden. Make sure not to over bake, the cookies will set up as they cool.
- Remove from oven, let cool on baking sheet for 5-10 minutes, and then transfer to wire rack to finish cooling. (Store in an airtight container.)
