Cadbury Mini Egg Cookies

Make these up if you have some leftover mini eggs from Easter (I know... leftover chocolate, weird!) 

Ingredients:

1 3/4 cups flour

1 1/2 tsps cornstarch

1 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/4 tsp salt

1/2 cup + 2 tbsps butter, at room temperature

1/2 cup + 3 tbsps brown sugar

1/2 cup sugar

1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

1 egg

1/2 cup chocolate chips

1/2 cup Cadbury mini eggs (plus more to stick on top)

 

Combine the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda and salt and set aside.

In a large mixer bowl, cream the butter, brown sugar and sugar together. Add the vanilla and egg and beat until smooth and light coloured. Start incorporating the dry ingredients, adding in 3 additions until combined, then fold in the chocolate chips and eggies.

Take heaping tablespoonfuls and roll into balls. Place on a lined baking sheet, press gently down a little and add a few mini eggs on top.

Bake at 360°F for 12-14 minutes.

As you can see they spread quite a bit so don't overcrowd the pan.

Cool for a few minutes before placing on a rack to cool completely.

Then store in an airtight container.
