Imagine biting into a creamy deviled egg with a sweet cookie-dough twist, straight from the Ohio State Fair 2025. This easy recipe is a party hit, let’s make it!

The Ohio State Fair, held July 23–August 3, 2025, in Columbus, is a food lover’s dream. I tasted their 2025 star dish, Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Deviled Eggs, and the sweet-savory mix was unforgettable! As Mr. Kitchen’s Adviser, I recreated this quirky recipe in my kitchen, using my stand mixer to nail the creamy filling. It’s simple, fun, and sure to wow your guests.

Here’s what you need for these deviled eggs. I use fresh Ohio eggs from local farmers for that authentic fair vibe.

• 6 large Ohio eggs, hard-boiled
• ¼ cup cream cheese, softened
• 2 tbsp brown sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 2 tbsp mini chocolate chips
• Pinch of salt
• Optional: 1 tbsp crumbled gluten-free shortbread cookies

I use a KitchenAid stand mixer for a smooth filling, but a hand mixer or fork works too. (Affiliate link; I may earn a small commission.) Discover Ohio’s fresh eggs at OhioEggs.com.

These steps are easy, with photos to guide you. Let’s make fair-worthy deviled eggs!

Cover eggs with cold water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, cover, and remove from heat. Let sit for 10 minutes, then cool in an ice bath for 5 minutes. Peel carefully.

Halve eggs lengthwise and scoop yolks into a mixer or bowl. Place whites on a platter.

Add cream cheese, brown sugar, vanilla, and salt to yolks. Blend until smooth, about 1 minute.

Stir in mini chocolate chips with a spoon.

Spoon or pipe filling into egg whites using a zip-top bag with a corner cut.

Sprinkle with shortbread crumbs. Chill for 10 minutes (optional) and serve.

Pro Tip: Pipe the filling for a fancy, fair-like look!

Here’s what I learned to make these eggs perfect:

• Use room-temperature cream cheese for a silky filling.
• Boil eggs a day ahead, they peel easier.
• Add a pinch of salt to balance the sweetness (my first batch was too sweet without it!).

I love tweaking flavors, here are twists I tried:

• Lighter: Use Greek yogurt instead of cream cheese for a tangy kick.
• Nutty: Add 1 tbsp peanut butter for a cookie-dough vibe my kids loved.
• Spicy: Sprinkle a pinch of cayenne for a sweet-spicy edge.

The classic version matches the Ohio Fair’s 2025 recipe, but these twists are party hits!

• Store: Keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days, with parchment paper between layers.
• Serve: Best chilled, but let sit out for 10 minutes if you like.
• Don’t Freeze: Egg whites get rubbery, so skip the freezer.

I prep the filling a day ahead to save time for parties.
