Cadbury Egg Cookies

By srumbel

Recently I had the brilliant idea (if I don’t say so myself) to smash them up and throw them in soft and chewy chocolate cookies.

Ingredients

• 1/2 C Crisco (I use butter flavored)
• 1/2 C Butter
• 1 C brown sugar
• 1 C white sugar
• 2 Eggs
• 1 1/2 t vanilla
• 1 t baking powder
• 1 t baking soda
• 1/2 t salt
• 2 1/2 C flour
• 6 T unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 10 oz bag Cadbury Mini-Eggs*

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350. You'll need to chop up those Cadbury Eggs. I just put them in a ziplock bag and bang on them with a marble rolling pin until they look like the picture below. A hammer would work too. Go get a kid and put him to work.

You know the drill. Cream together the butter, crisco, brown sugar and white sugar. Add in eggs one at at a time and the vanilla. In a separate bowl whisk together the flour, soda, baking powder, salt, and cocoa powder. Add to the butter mixture to combine and then mix in the candies. And a little secret...if you want your cookies to look pretty like mine, save a few egg pieces and pop them on top of the cookies before baking so you get those colorful speckles on top!

Drop onto a cookie sheet and cook for about 8-10 minutes. Mine are always done in exactly 9. They're soft and fudgy in the middle and a little crisp on the edges with crunchy little candy bits throughout. Yummers.
