- Freeze mini Cadbury Eggs or slice larger ones into 2-3 pieces and freeze for at least 30 minutes.

- Cream together softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.

- Scoop about 2 tablespoons of cookie dough, flatten slightly, and place one cheesecake dollop and one Cadbury Egg piece in the center.
- Enclose the filling completely with cookie dough and roll into a smooth ball. Repeat with remaining dough and filling.
- Arrange stuffed cookie balls on prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each.
- Step 4: Chill and Bake!
- Chill assembled cookies in the freezer for 15-20 minutes.
- Bake one sheet at a time for 10-14 minutes until edges are golden brown and centers are slightly soft.

Keywords: Freezing the Cadbury Eggs and cheesecake filling before stuffing is crucial to prevent melting during baking. Ensure all seams are pinched shut when encasing the filling to avoid leaks. Don't overbake for a soft, chewy cookie.
