Notes
Fold in the egg pieces and mini chocolate chips to avoid over-mixing the dough. If you over mix it, the cookies can become tough.
Top with crushed Cadbury egg pieces for picture-perfect cookies. It also gives the cookies an added crunch to the soft chewy texture that makes them even tastier!Pull out the cookies when they are barely golden brown, you don’t want to over-bake. These cookies will set as they cool, so you don’t want to over-bake them or they will come out hard. As soon as you start to see golden brown on the edges or tops they are done.Store these in an air-tight container for up to one week at room temperature or for three months frozen.Freeze cookie dough balls by scooping them onto a cookie sheet and then placing them in the fridge until they begin to harden, typically one hour. Then transfer them into an airtight container and place them in the freezer. They will store for up to three months. Bake dough as directed, no need to thaw.
