***WARNING*** Do not attempt these cookies if you are trying to lose weight, or eat healthy. They are addicting and not very calorie friendly. But, oh so good.
Cadbury Egg Cookies
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
6T unsweetened cocoa powder
1 10 oz bag Cadbury Mini-Eggs*
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 hammer.
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 the picture, 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 were 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.
Mine also made 36 quite large cookies(like the size of Subway's cookies), I even ended up tossing some of the dough because Lord knows I do not need 45 huge cookies. I think I will half the recipe next time.
