How to Make Creme Egg Cookies

Ingredients You’ll Need

• ¾ cup white chocolate chips or chopped chocolate
• ¾ cup milk chocolate chips or chopped chocolate
• 1 cup mini chocolate chips or chopped chocolate
• 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
• ¾ cup brown sugar (packed)
• ¼ cup granulated sugar
• ¼ teaspoon sea salt
• 1 large egg (room temperature)
• 1 large egg yolk (room temperature)
• 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
• 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour (270g)
• ¼ cup cocoa powder (Dutch processed; natural will work in a pinch)
• ½ tablespoon cornstarch
• ½ teaspoon baking powder
• ¼ teaspoon baking soda
• 8 creme eggs (regular sized)

Step-by-Step Directions

1. Combine chocolate chips in a medium bowl and mix well together to combine. Set aside. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a separate large bowl or stand mixer, combine butter, sugars, and salt. Beat together until light and creamy, scraping down the bowl halfway.
3. Add the whole egg, egg yolk, and vanilla. Beat until light and fluffy, for a few minutes.
4. Sift flour, cocoa powder, cornstarch, baking powder, and baking soda right into the same bowl. Fold with a spatula or large spoon just until combined. You can use your fingers to help as needed.
5. Add half of the mixed chocolate chips and fold to combine.
6. Scoop the cookie dough into 4 oz balls. Use a scale for consistency. If you don’t have a scale, two large 3-tablespoon cookie scoops equal about 4 oz.
7. Flatten a cookie dough ball and place an unwrapped regular-sized creme egg into the middle. Close up the cookie dough to cover the creme egg fully.
8. Roll the top of the cookie dough ball into the rest of the chocolate chips and place onto the lined sheet of parchment. Finish with the rest of the cookie dough balls and creme eggs. This will make around 8 cookies.
9. Place the sheet with stuffed cookie dough into the fridge for 6 hours (or overnight) or in the freezer for 3 hours.
10. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Once preheated, bake two cookies at a time on a lined baking sheet for 10-13 minutes. They are ready when they are puffed and spread out a bit along the bottom. Do not overbake, or the creme eggs will start to leak out the sides. If you start seeing them leak, take them out of the oven immediately and lower the baking time for the next ones.
11. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before using a wide spatula to transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely. For the creme egg filling to still be gooey and stretchy, serve them when they’re a little warm.

How to Serve Creme Egg Cookies

These cookies are best served warm. You can enjoy them on their own or with a glass of milk for a classic treat. They also make a great addition to dessert platters for parties or gatherings.

How to Store Creme Egg Cookies

Store your Creme Egg Cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. You can also keep them in the fridge if you prefer a firmer texture. For longer storage, freeze them in a sealed bag for up to three months.

Tips for the Best Creme Egg Cookies
