If you’ve been looking for fun easter desserts then I got you covered with this simple and delicious recipe. This one is especially fantastic for giant cookie lovers during the Easter season. I know it is not the most friendly recipe to serve for large crowds but it can be sliced into smaller slices and served on a plate. 

But to be honest, my favorite way to serve this delicious treat is to top it with ice cream and just dig in. It feels extra special and gives off restaurant vibes, think BJs dessert. 

Ingredients on the counter

Here are the ingredients you will need to make this delicious skillet cookie.  Make sure to scroll down to the recipe card for the full detailed ingredient measurements. 

  • Butter: We are using brown butter to elevate this pizookie recipe. 
  • Brown sugar and Granulated sugar: The combination of both sugars adds extra depth of flavor and chewiness to this perfect easter cookie. 
  • Eggs
  • Vanilla extract
  • Flour: All-purpose flour works great for this recipe. 
  • Baking soda: This is our leavening agent to give a little height to this skillet cookie. 
  • Mini Cadbury Eggs:  You can use milk chocolate or the dark. chocolate ones.I used a mixture of both. To break them, place them in a ziplock bag, close it tightly, and smash them using a rolling pin. This is much safer than chopping them with a sharp knife. 
  • Semi-sweet chocolate chips: This is not specifically a chocolate chip cookie recipe since the focus is on the easter candies but a little extra chocolate never hurt anybody. You can also use mini chocolate chips if you prefer. 

Recipe Variations

If you want to play around with the recipe here are some ideas that you can try when you’re baking this.

  • Use white chocolate instead of semi-sweet chocolate for a sweeter touch. 
  • Dark chocolate will also help elevate your pizookie even more. 
  • Instead of using the mini Cadbury chocolate eggs you can go for the Easter M&M’s for a different flavor and texture. 
  • Mix in some Easter sprinkles to add an extra pop of color/
  • The tanginess of dried cranberries or sour tart cherries would go so well with the richness of this brown butter Cadbury mini egg skillet cookie recipe. 
  • Use your favorite easter candy mixed in there for a more fun skillet cookie.

    How much salt goes in the recipe?

    1. Chahinez says:

      1/4 teaspoon salt

  2. Ash says:

    Hi, do you know what adjustments I should make to fit this in one 6 inch skillet?

    1. Chahinez says:

      I haven’t tried making this in a 6 inch pan. You could try halving the recipe and bake until the edges are light golden brown and the center is slightly set.
      Let us know how that turns out!
