Cadbury Egg Brownie Cookie Recipe
The brownie-cookie mashup isn't even the best thing about this recipe. The star of the show is the Cadbury chocolate eggs. If you've never had them, get ready to fall in love. They are basically like M&Ms but a much better version.
The eggs get mixed into the brownie cookie dough just like chocolate chips, so they are in each and every bite. I also like to place some eggs on top of the cookie dough before it goes into the oven to add some chocolate eggs to the top of the cookies.
