Ingredients you’ll need
Here’s a list of ingredients you’ll need to make these cookies. You can find my recipe card at the bottom of this post for the complete list with their amounts.
- Plain/all-purpose flour
- Cocoa powder: I love and use Dr. Oetker Fine Dark Cocoa Powder.
- Baking powder
- Baking soda
- Cornflour/cornstarch: Makes for extra soft and thick cookies.
- Salt
- Unsalted butter: Melted.
- Light brown sugar: Using mostly brown sugar results in extra soft and chewy cookies, as well as a subtle molasses flavour.
- Caster/granulated sugar
- Large egg
- Vanilla extract
- Milk chocolate: Finely chopped. I used a Cadbury’s Dairy Milk bar.
- Cadbury’s Creme Eggs: You’ll need 6 full-sized ones. Freeze until completely solid (at least a few hours).
How to make Creme Egg Cookies
To make these cookies, simply grab a medium mixing bowl and whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, cornflour, and salt. Set aside.
In a separate large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter and sugars until combined.
Add the egg and vanilla extract, and whisk until combined.
Add the dry ingredients, and mix until just combined. Fold in the milk chocolate.
Roll the dough into 4-oz balls, and flatten them out. Place a Creme Egg into the centres, then roll the dough back up around the egg.
Place onto a large baking tray lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat, and bake for 12 – 14 minutes.
Allow to cool on the baking tray for at least 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

NOTE: For best results, I highly recommend using the gram measurements (with a digital scale), rather than the cup measurements.
Cup measurements are simply not accurate enough, and I cannot guarantee the best results if you use them.

My kids were upset when they saw me using their Cadbury eggs to make these cookies--until they tried them. OH WOW! They aren't complaining anymore. The cookies are caramelized and rich and just incredible.
