A nostalgic ode to Easter candy, this Cadbury egg-studded cookie is all about the texture. Crispy on the outside, chewy on the inside, and with a boost of crunch from the candy-coated chocolate eggs, it’s a new and improved way to indulge in the iconic Easter treat.

  1. These cookies taste really great. However, even though I followed the recipe as it was written, my cookies did not look like the ones pictured, which was disappointing. Mine spread A LOT, and I”m not sure why. My family still liked them, but they did not look as cute as what was pictured online. If I make them again, I”ll likely add more flour.

  2. Same issue as previous comment. These cookies spread A LOT and we’re huge by the time they were finished baking. They looked nothing like the picture. In fact, the pictures looked like my cookies BEFORE they were baked. I chilled the dough for over an hour, perhaps it needed longer (perhaps much longer) to ensure the cookies would not turn into giant blobs. They do taste good (how could they not with all that chocolate) but they are not pretty. I would never make these for guests or to give away. Literally giant chocolate blobs.

  3. the dough looked off- so after reading your comments and looking at some other recipes i added another cup of flour- and they worked pretty well
