# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The texture is everything soft and chewy with little surprises of crunchy chocolate candy in every bite
  • They look absolutely gorgeous on a platter and disappear faster than you can say spring has arrived
  • The dough comes together in under twenty minutes but tastes like it took all afternoon
02 -
  • Overmixing the dough makes tough cookies, so stop as soon as the flour disappears
  • Chopped Cadbury eggs will melt into pockets, but leave some bigger chunks for texture contrast
  • These look underbaked when you take them out but that is exactly how they stay chewy
03 -
  • Chop your Cadbury eggs right before folding them in so they do not start melting in the bowl
  • Rotate the baking sheets halfway through baking so every cookie bakes evenly
