We celebrate the holidays with thumbprint cookies. These Cadbury Egg Chocolate Thumbprint Cookies are perfect for Easter or all year round.
We have a confession…..we can go through bags of mini Cadbury eggs like they are going out of style!! They have a creamy chocolate center with the delicious candy coating.
We paired them up with a buttery thumbprint cookie and a dollop of chocolate frosting. You are going to love these cookies for your Easter celebration!
