Cadbury Mini Egg Cookie Bars

Chocolate Chip Cadbury Mini Eggs Cookie Bars. This is a super easy cookie recipe that you just get to dump in a pan and bake, top with a few more Mini Eggs after baking, and present as the perfect Easter dessert! 

I made these cookie bars for Easter, but it is a great recipe to have on hand any time you need a quick, easy dessert!  Just substitute the Cadbury Mini Eggs with M&M’s, white chocolate chips, dark chocolate chips, Reese’s Pieces….any sort of mix-in you desire!  That’s why these bars are so great!

Print Recipe
Serves: 15-20 Cooking Time: 25-30 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup salted butter, room temperature
  • 3/4 cup white granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 2 eggs, room temperature
  • 2-1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup Cadbury Mini Eggs (or your desired mix-in)

Instructions

1

Preheat oven to 350-degrees and line a 9x13-inch baking pan with foil or parchment paper and spray with baking spray. Set aside.

2

In the bowl of a stand mixer, affixed with the paddle attachment, add the butter and beat on medium-high speed until smooth and creamy. Add the white sugar and brown sugar to the butter and beat until light and fluffy. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed. Beat the eggs in, one at a time, into the mixture. Beat in the vanilla extract. Change the mixer to low speed and slowly add the flour and baking powder. Mix until barely combined. Add the chocolate chips and Cadbury Mini Eggs (or your mix-in) and mix for 10-seconds. Option to reserve a few of your Mini Eggs to press into the top of your cookie bars after you pull them from the oven after baking. Remove the bowl from the mixer and use a rubber scraper to ensure all ingredients are fully incorporated. Pour mixture out into prepared pan and press evenly into the pan.

3

Bake in 350-degree oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out without raw batter on it. Option to press a few Mini Eggs into the top of the cookie bars right after you remove the cookie bars from the oven, just to make them look pretty.

4

Use the foil or parchment, to remove the entire slab of cookie bars from the pan, and set on a wire rack to cool. After bars have completely cooled, cut into desired sized squares.

Notes

Store at room temperature in an airtight container. Bars will stay fresh for several days.

    I love this!!! Honestly, it’s a toss up for me on favorite Easter candy between these little eggs, and the malted ones. When I was a kid, the Cadbury Creme Eggs were my favorite…have you seen the recipe circulating that puts one of those in the center of a molten milk cake before baking??? OMG

    Cadbury eggs are so dangerous! Like, I could eat a whole bag in one sitting :). These bars look incredible! I’m all about bar cookies–they’re so much easier than drop cookies. And maybe baking the eggs into a cookie would be a way for me to slow down eating that whole bag.

      Hahaha I am sooooo with you there Kelsie! I could easily eat a whole bag of these in one sitting! That’s why I had to make these bar cookies using what was left of a bag of mini eggs hehehehe. And I am so into bar cookies right now. So much easier, but I also love how thick they are! Mmmmmm…cookies. XOXO 🙂
