Cadbury Creme Egg Stuffed Cookies

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

These cookies are a fun treat for Spring and only take minutes to make if you use premade cookie dough!

Ingredients:

1 recipe chocolate chip cookie dough or a tub of refrigerated dough
Mini Cadbury Creme Eggs

Directions:

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 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.

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

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!

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.

Woo I’m ready for all the candy! I’ve been wanting to make creme egg cookies, but haven’t got round to it yet, these look delicious though so definitely going to have to make them now!

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…

I love cadbury cremes but rarely let myself buy them for fear of how many I’ll eat in one sitting! Now I have to fear how many of these cookies I’ll eat. Probs…all.

I finally made Cadbury stuffed cupcakes for the first time last year and now I’m going to have to make cookies too. Cadbury eggs are like crack to me, you see.

YES PLEASE. Anything stuffed inside a cookie is good with me. I steal Jordan’s candy too. Then I tell her she must have ate it and forgot.

Totally understanding the divorcing/remarrying thing since cream eggs are involved. YUMMM!

Oh man..these look like heaven! I will be stealing my kids Cadbury eggs to make these!

I feel like these are sinful, which doesn’t mesh well with Easter, but I think I’m ok with that They look amazing!

There is nothing wrong with using store bought cookie dough when you gussy them up like this!

Gosh! I thought it was only in England they were crazy about Cadbury’s Creme Eggs! These cookies certainly look delicious They have a TV ad in the UK at Easter time, and it’s called, ‘how do you eat your creme egg’ …think you’ll have to submit your recipe to cadburys! I see they also have a creme egg brownie recipe on their site….mmmmmmmm Yum

The mini cadburry eggs are one of my favorite Easter candy and hiding them inside chocolate chip cookies sounds so good!

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!

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