Easter celebrations always call for chocolate eggs. These protein-laced Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Easter Eggs take it to the next level with their creamy cookie dough filling!
To be honest, I usually shy away from things like this. I really don’t like coating stuff in melting chocolate. It’s not hard – I know this logically – but in my head, it seems like so much effort. Rest assured these chocolate chip cookie dough eggs aren’t hard to make.
If you’re like me and still think it’s too much effort… I assure they’re actually worth the effort.
Unrelated, but I had to sneak in a pic with my favorite SoCal flowers.
Don’t be concerned about the raw cookie dough. This batter is egg-free.
Not that raw egg has never stopped me from eating batter… but safety third! 😉
This is a healthier dough too! I subbed sugar-free powdered sugar for half of the sugar, used stevia sweetened chocolate chips, and replaced half of the butter with sugar-free applesauce. Guess what? Vegas never knew the difference.
I’m sure you could bother with an egg-shaped cookie cutter here, but it’s just as easy to scoop the dough into balls and smush ’em into an egg shape. We’re super fancy up in here. ♪ Up in here, up in here… ♫
You know it wouldn’t be me if I didn’t sneak in some protein. It’s only 1/3 of a cup, but it helps to cut down on the flour and add more nutrients without sacrifice taste. I always use my favorite rice protein for recipes.
I’d write more, but it turns out that I’m hosting Easter brunch and all I have so far are these eggs. While they are good, one can not live on cookie dough alone. I’ve also had requests for French Toast, Bacon Dijon Deviled Eggs, and bacon. I need to get to the store STAT.
Side note: These would be great as chocolate covered bites any time of year. I plan on keeping a batch in the freezer for when my sweet tooth strikes (basically after every meal).

I may need another batch before Sunday. Oops…
Do you have Easter cooking plans? Or did you cook for Passover?
What are your favorite Easter treats? I still love the Reese’s eggs! Sooooo much peanut butter…
I am right there with you. For some reason, melting chocolate feels out of reach. I made chocolate bark once and it was literally the easiest thing of all time, but have I made it again? nope.
I know, I know… but I have to do it now. These were too good. They need to be made into balls for all seasons. #TWSS
DANGER!!! I need to make these NOW!!! Yep! These are going to show up at Easter. I’m drooling!
YAY! I’m so glad you liked them. 🙂
WOW these are incredible; they look so pretty.
Thank you! <3
These are so super cute! They remind me of the Oreo cookie truffles that were everywhere around 2007.
Annnnd now I want an Oreo.
ugh killing me right now such a chocolate craving today!
I totally believe I could live of that cookie dough only. Even if it had raw eggs in it. I mean, eggs.
Please send some over to my nightshift!
I wish I could! You should probably just move here.
I used to make a cookie dough truffle at my coffee shop, not as healthy as this of course. I absolutely hated the tedious task of coated hundreds of the little balls in chocolate!!! I could make a small batch of these, they would be healthy and I think I could manage covering a few for old times sake.
I would have loved to try one of those!!!
I’ve never made protein cookies and now is the perfect time to try it for the first time. I have a serious sweet tooth and since I don’t consume chicken, beef, or pork it’s nearly impossible for me to get all the protein my body requires. I just read creamy cookie dough and started drooling. Have a great weekend Laura 🙂
You have to try my protein powder! It’s the cleanest one I’ve found that doesn’t taste horrible. LOL! I think I’m going to try to make the next round a bit healthier and use almond meal vs. flour.
We shoulda made these fuckers together.
We still need our video!!!
OMG i need that natural food dye! and the eggs. they look epic. Especially next to SOCAL flowers. 😉
Thanks brother! I’m seeing more and more food dye lately – maybe just because I started paying attention? Whole Foods is always a sure thing.
These chocolate protein cookies looks great,I’m sure it’s so delicious ❤ Happy Easter !
Thank you! Hope yours was fabulous!
These look fabulous I mean cookie dough + chocolate = heaven. Now if only they came served with a mimosa it would be an Easter brunch legend.
Clearly you weren’t at my brunch… hahaha! (But you’re always welcome!)
I’m so bummed I’m just seeing this now! They look delicious so I’ll have to make them into circles instead of eggs–perfect for any time of year!
Thanks! I’m going to make a ball version this week. They disappeared wayyyyy too fast!
These are so cute! Hope that you had a great Easter!!
Everything is better when you coat it in chocolate.
