Easter Cookie Cake (Filled with Candy!)

I love myself a good chocolate chip cookie cake! We made this heart-shaped cookie cake for Valentine’s Day and it is one of my favorite recipes for that holiday!

As a kid, I looked forward so much to getting an Easter basket! Of course my parents made sure I knew the meaning of Easter and we observed that, but they also allowed us kids to participate in fun themed activities such as Easter Egg hunts.

And of course…we each got an Easter basket filled with goodies!

This Easter cookie cake is like taking your favorite Easter candy and stuffing it into a thick and chewy cookie! It is so deliciously decadent…and I am here for it!

We jazzed up this funfetti cookie cake with lots of special add-ins just for Easter: pastel M&Ms, Easter sprinkles, and Cadbury mini chocolate eggs (one of my favorite Easter treats).

So pretty!! (And I must say that it tastes just as fantastic as it looks!)

This colorful cookie cake is perfect for birthdays too — simply swap out the Cadbury eggs for your favorite candy. Or leave them it…we always buy extra Easter candy to enjoy the rest of the year too!

I adore funfetti recipes (like this funfetti cheesecake we made a while back), and see no reason not to enjoy them year-round!

Hope you love it as much as I do!

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this Cookie Cake be Made Gluten Free?

Sure, just swap out the regular flour for an all-purpose gluten free flour.

You may also want to check the packaging on the rest ingredients you’re using to make sure they are processed in a gluten-free facility, if cross-contamination is of concern.

Does a Cookie Cake Need to be Refrigerated?

No, this cookie cake does not require refrigeration.

The best way to store this dessert is by covering with plastic wrap, or moving to an airtight container. Room temperature is fine, just keep away from light and heat sources. A cookie cake will stay good this way for up to 3-4 days.

You can also freeze your cookie cake, but you’ll want to do this before you frost the cake. When you’re ready to serve, thaw and then frost.

Can You Use Different Candy?

Absolutely! We used some of our favorite Easter candies, but you can swap with your own! You may want to try to keep the amounts the same, so as to not overwhelm the cake or affect baking time. Reese’s Eggs or Reese’s Pieces could also be fabulous additions!
