Ingredients
- 9 oz mini Cadbury eggs
- 13.25 oz box yellow cake mix
- 2 eggs (room temperature)
- ½ cup vegetable oil
Instructions

- Step 3: Fold the crushed Cadbury eggs gently into the cookie batter until evenly distributed.
- Step 4: Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper. Use a small cookie scoop or half an ice cream scoop to portion dough onto the sheets, spacing cookies about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading. Bake at 350°F for 10 to 12 minutes.
- Step 5: Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool completely on the baking sheets before enjoying.
Tips & Variations
- For extra chewy cookies, slightly underbake by a minute or two and let them finish setting on the hot baking sheet.
- Use full-size chopped Cadbury eggs for chunkier chocolate pockets.
- Swap yellow cake mix for white or funfetti cake mix to change the flavor and appearance.
Storage
Store the cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. To keep them fresh longer, you can refrigerate for up to a week or freeze for up to 3 months. When ready to eat, thaw frozen cookies at room temperature or warm briefly in the microwave.

FAQs
Can I use a different type of chocolate instead of Cadbury mini eggs?
Yes, you can substitute with any candy-coated chocolates or chopped chocolate pieces, though the signature Cadbury flavor is unique to this recipe.
Do I have to crush the Cadbury eggs or can I leave them whole?
Crushing the eggs helps distribute the chocolate better throughout the cookies and prevents large chocolate chunks from melting unevenly. However, you can leave some pieces larger if you prefer more noticeable chocolate bursts.

- Do not overcrowd the baking sheet; bake up to 8 cookies per sheet to ensure even cooking.
- Allow cookies to cool completely as they firm up and hold their shape better when cooled.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
- You can substitute vegetable oil with melted butter for a richer flavor, but this may alter texture slightly.
