Easy Creme Egg Cookies are packed with dark chocolate, pecans, and oats and then topped with half a mini Creme Egg. Crispy, chewy, and delicious, these cookies won’t hang around for long!
These Easy Creme Egg Cookies are just divine. I love pecan nuts so decided to combine these with dark chocolate to complement the yummy Creme Egg on these crispy on the outside and gooey in the middle cookies.
Can you believe I started last week trying to cut down on sugar and banned myself from eating any chocolate in a bid to shift the Christmas weight gain?
But the call of the Creme Eggs in the drawer was too strong, I was itching to make something new with them this year as it’s become a bit of a tradition to create a sweet treat each Easter.
As I’d already made Brownies and Fudge with Creme Eggs I decided it was the turn of the cookie to have a Creme Egg makeover.
To say my family loved these is an understatement and I think they would rival the cookies in that famous cookie store that you find in most shopping centers.
This recipe makes about 26 large cookies so is ideal for school bake sales. Easy Creme Egg Cookies are great for kids to make as they can help mix, and shape the dough into balls and push the half Creme Eggs onto the top of each cookie.

kellie@foodtoglow
You may be amused to know that I’ve pinned these lovelies in “Damn The Diet” 😉 A wonderful way to fall off the no-sugar wagon.
Camilla
LOL Kelly, I had 2 today, the “diet” is definitely damned:-)
Choclette
These look gorgeous Camilla. There are just too many good things to make and eat!
I’ve pinned these, but haven’t added them to the #WeShouldCocoa round-up as I used your pancakes and it’s only one entry per month. Hope that doesn’t put you off for next month.
Camilla
Thanks Choclette, sorry, didn’t spot that rule!
Jemma @ Celery and Cupcakes
Soft and chewy is exactly how I love my cookies. These look like a great one to make with the kids in the Easter holidays.
Camilla
Thanks Jemma, they are great for kids to make:-)

Cookies should always be chewy in my opinion and these look chewy and delicious. My husband is creme egg obsessed, so I will have to make these for him.
Camilla
Thanks Dannii, I’m sure your husband will love them:-)
Katie Bryson
OH wow, these look totally uh-mazing! So easy to make too, I’m going to have to give them a whirl with the boys. I can’t imagine they’ll last very long once they’re out of the oven though….
Camilla
Thanks Katie, I’m sure they’ll love making and eating them:-)
Amy Fidler
Great recipe x but i’d have to change the egg,as don’t like how creme eggs taste anymore x
Camilla
As it’s just half a mini egg on a giant cookie I don’t really think with the dark chocolate and pecans that you’d detect any difference in the Creme Egg taste:-)
Heather Haigh
I have to make these for my hubby – he’s mad about cream eggs.
Camilla
You will Heather, he’ll love them-)
Sarah
I’ve been trying hard to cut back on chocolate but have allowed myself a treat every so often. I love pecans too and chewy cookies! Win – win!
Camilla
They really are a win-win Sarah:-)
Emma @ Supper in the Suburbs
I feel your pain Camilla. Everytime i try to go back on a diet i find a reason to eat naughty things! These look delicious – hopefully I have the will power to save them for Easter! Will pin them for now 🙂
Camilla
LOL thanks Emma, I’m glad I’m not the only one:-)
