Cadbury's Mini Egg Cookies
Easter cookies studded with lots of delicious Cadbury's Mini Eggs!
Mini eggs are my favourite easter chocolate. I get so excited when they come into shops, pretty early usually, although I only allow myself to really enjoy them when its nearer Easter Not like in January when its just been Christmas but you start to see Easter Eggs, so random. I am not sure what makes Mini Eggs so elite in the realms of easter chocolate, perhaps it's the crunchy outer shell with the smooth middle. Perhaps it's the cute speckled pastel colours, which in turn ensures every Easter decoration is likewise. Whatever the reason, Mini Eggs are even better stuffed into cookies. Anndddd, I've featured the Cadbury's Mini Egg chocolate bar too, because when I discovered that last year, it was sensational. The cookies needed more chocolate of course. These cookies are chewy but soft, not too crumbly or cakey with a lovely crunch from the Mini Eggs. I hope you enjoy making these, perfect for leftover easter chocolate!
