Biting into one of these is to extend a bag of these that seem to keep disappearing in the best possible way.

Crisp on the edges and soft in the center

We only bake the cookies until they’re golden on the edges which means they’re still a little soft in the center for up to 3 days after baking.

Ingredients and substitutions for Cadbury Egg Cookies

  • Butter: Unsalted butter is used for the cookie, but if all you have on hand is salted, that works as a fine substitute, just leave out any salt suggested in the recipe.
  • Sugars: The brown sugar helps to make the cookies chewy, and superfine or caster sugar helps balance the sweetness alongside the black cocoa. These make a great combination, though you could completely replace with brown sugar.
  • Eggs: The egg binds and adds structure to our cookies resulting in that soft interior that compliments the sugar and butter.
  • Flour: Plain or all purpose flour is best for a nice light cookie crumb.
  • Baking powder: This helps our cookies rise so they are not stodgy.
  • Baking soda: This helps our cookies rise alongside the baking powder avoiding a heavy dense cookie.

See recipe card for quantities.

Equipment needed to make a batch

Mixing bowl: You’ll need a medium mixing bowl to make the cookie dough.

Greaseproof paper: Lining your baking tray will make getting the soft cookies off easy.

Hand or stand mixer: To whip the dough, this is best done with a mixer to get as much air as possible into the moist ingredients.

Ice Cream Scoop: The scoop used here creates medium or regular sized cookies with a diameter of 5 centimeters / 1.97 inches.

FAQ's for the best Cadbury Egg Cookies

Do I have to freeze my cookie dough?

No, you don't have to, but freezing does a couple of things to our dough which just improves the baked cookies. Freezing helps chill them swiftly whilst resulting in a better overall flavor with a soft interior and lightly crispy exterior.
