# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • That moment when you bite into a melted Cadbury egg piece is pure chocolate magic
  • They stay perfectly soft for days, which is saying something in my cookie-obsessed house
02 -
  • Pressing extra egg pieces into the tops before baking makes them look bakery beautiful
  • Overbaking is the enemy, pull them when edges are set and centers look soft
03 -
  • Chop some Cadbury eggs into bigger pieces and some smaller for texture variety
  • Let your butter soften naturally, microwave softening changes the cookie texture
