To Prep: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9x11 baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone baking mat.
To Bake The Cookies
In a large mixing bowl with an electric mixer (or the bowl of a stand mixer), cream together butter, salt, granulated sugar, and brown sugar, until smooth and creamy. Add the egg yolk, milk and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and beat until well combined.
Add the dry ingredients (flour and baking powder) to the wet ingredients, mixing until a cohesive dough forms.
Fold in the chopped Cadbury mini eggs.
Portion out the dough into 10 balls of equal size and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake at 350°F for 17-19 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
TIP: If you're not frosting the cookies, press 2-3 chocolate eggs into the tops of the still-warm cookies while they are on a cooling rack.
To Make The Frosting
I like these cookies all on their own, but Crumbl adds a sweet buttercream frosting on top, so I've included directions to make frosting as well. Be sure to let the cookies cool completely before adding frosting.
Mix together the softened butter with 3 cups of powdered sugar, until the frosting is light and fluffy.
Add the almond extract, vanilla extract, and milk, mixing until smooth.
Scoop the frosting into a piping bag with a round tip.
Add a generous swirl of frosting on top of each cookie and finish with 3 mini eggs on top.

Notes
Nutrition information is per cookie, based on a batch of 10 cookies, unfrosted. It is provided as an estimate and may vary based on exact ingredients used and serving size.Prep Tips:
Yield - We made cookies that were 4oz each, with a total of 10 cookies in the batch.
Flour - Cake flour is a bleached flour that is extra finely milled — it is ideal for baked goods because it creates a softer, fluffier texture. We used a combination of cake flour and all-purpose flour to get those thick, bakery-style cookies.
Frosting - The frosting is optional. The Cadbury Egg Cookies at Cookie Co are made without frosting. Crumbl's Cadbury Egg Cookies do have frosting, so I have included instructions here for frosting too. Feel free to make yours with, or without frosting. They are plenty sweet without frosting, so that's how I make them myself.
Storage - Keep cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for 3-4 days. They can also be frozen for long term storage.
