Cadbury Egg Cookie Bars

Remember last week when I made Squash Chips? Those were healthy. Then I went on a crazy sweets kick. First monkey cupcakes, then chocolate cupcakes filled with vanilla buttercream and now…Cadbury Mini Eggs Cookie Bars.

I was innocently checking out at Target the other night when the Royal Dark Cadbury Mini Eggs started calling my name. I don’t eat the cream filled eggs. Ew.

But the mini eggs? Especially the dark chocolate ones? Those I look forward to every year. I hadn’t even finished eating all the cupcakes yet when I made these.

If you have any leftover, make some Easter Basket Cookie Cups, too.

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 375° F.
  • Grease a 15 x 10 jelly roll pan and set aside. I use The Pampered Chef Stoneware pan.
  • Pour one cup of Cadbury Mini Eggs into a zip top bag, seal it pressing out any air, and then and smash with a rolling pin. Or, you could coarsely chop them. Set aside.
  • In a small bowl, combine flour, baking soda & salt and stir.
  • In a large bowl, beat butter, sugar, brown sugar and vanilla until creamy.
  • One at a time, add each egg, beating well after each addition.
  • In thirds, gradually beat in the flour mixture.
  • Stir in the crushed Cadbury eggs until evenly distributed.
  • Spread into a greased jelly roll pan. Press a few whole Cadbury eggs into the top of the cookie dough.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes, until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out cleanly. Let cool completely before cutting into bars.

Notes

Depending on the size of your jelly roll pan, you may have some extra dough. I typically have enough for six cookies in addition to the bars.
Store leftovers covered at room temperature for up to a week.

  3. Kate Coleman says

    These look beyond delicious – I adore Cadbury mini eggs, but have never put them into anything (usually just eaten them all straight from the bag!).

    Stopping by from Marvellous Mondays.

    Hope you have a wonderful week.

    I’m in the uk, these look amazing, but can I ask….what’s a jelly roll pan please.sorry if that sounds silly 😁😉
    Thank you. I’m gona give these a try, mini eggs r my favourite 😍 😋

    • Melissa Williams says

      Not silly! A jelly roll pan is basically a cookie sheet with a lip (I think I linked one above). You can also use a 9×13 or 8×11 baking dish.
