Equipment

Ingredients

  • ½ cup butter flavor shortening or butter
  • ½ cup butter
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 ½ teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 ½ cup flour
  • 6 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 10-oz bag Cadbury Mini-Eggs

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350℉. Chop Mini-Eggs to smaller pieces. You could also put them in a zip-top bag and bang on them with a rolling pin, until they are in smaller pieces, as pictured in the post.
  • Cream together the butter, shortening, 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.
  • You may want to reserve a small handful of chocolate pieces to put on top of dough balls, but then mix in the remainder. If you want your cookies to look pretty like mine, place a few of the reserved pieces on top of each cookie 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 minutes. They're soft and fudgy in the middle and a little crisp on the edges with crunchy little candy bits throughout.

Notes

  • Store finished cookies in an airtight container at room temperature. Enjoy within 3-5 days for best results.
  • Pro tip:  Save a few of those eggs and after you drop your dough onto the sheet, place them on top with the colored coating facing up.  That way when they bake up they have those pretty bursts of pastel color.
  • You could also raid your kids' candy baskets and toss in chopped up chocolate bunnies, mini candy bars, or whatever. This is a great base recipe and perfect for any holiday add-ins.
