Why you NEED to make Cadbury Egg cut out cookies
This recipe combines the benefits of two of my very favorite types of cookies: chocolate chip cookies and sugar cookies. Just like a sugar cookie, you can amp up the fun by cutting these out in festive shapes but you get the flavor of a delicious chocolate chip (or in this case, Cadbury Egg) cookie. These cut out cookies are a simple and fun treat to make with your kiddos or indulge in by yourself this spring. No matter how you slice them, they turn out deliciously and look so pretty. Just be careful not to overbake these – they can go from tender to crunchy really quickly.
What you’ll need to make Cut Out Cookies with Cadbury Mini Eggs
- Salted butter, softened – I always use salted butter. You can swap this out for unsalted if you prefer, just add an extra pinch of salt to the dough.
- Brown sugar – More brown sugar helps this recipe be soft & chewy.
- Granulated sugar
- Egg
- Vanilla – This really pulls the flavors together!
- All-purpose flour
- Baking powder – This will contribute to the cookie’s soft and chewy texture.
- Cadbury mini eggs, crushed – You can toss these in a food processor for just a second or hit it with a rolling pin. Use whatever method you’d like to get these eggs a little smaller for the cookies.
How to make Cadbury Cut Out Cookies
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with a silicone mat or parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer, cream together the salted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar for 2 minutes or until light and fluffy.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter and sugar mixture. Beat until well combined.
- Add the dry ingredients (flour and baking powder) to the wet ingredients, mixing until a soft cookie dough forms.
- Fold in the crushed Cadbury mini eggs until evenly distributed throughout the cookie dough.
- Using a rolling pin, roll the dough out until about 1/2 inch thick.
- Use desired cookie cutters to cut out the cookies. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 7-9 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. Be cautious not to overbake to maintain a soft and chewy texture.
- Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Top with frosting, if desired. Enjoy!
How should I store my cut out cookies?
Once cooled, store your cookies in an airtight container on the counter for 3-5 days! These cookies also freeze really well and can be stored in a resealable freezer bag for up to 3 months.
Can I frost my Cadbury Egg cookies?
Yes! You absolutely can. These would be delicious with my simple buttercream frosting recipe or my chocolate buttercream!
