Cadbury Egg Cookies ....Anytime Cookies really

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*

*If it's not Easter try these cookies with white chocolate or PB chips- they're so yummy!


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 until they're sufficiently crumbled
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 flour mixture to the butter mixture to combine and then mix in the candies.
Drop onto a cookie sheet and cook for about 8-10 minutes. Remove to a cooling rack if they make it that far!  They are so good warm.  Seriously, these are so yummy!  I think around Christmas they make a Christmas cadbury egg in greens and reds.  I so can't wait....till then we will just mix in which chocolate or pb chips.  You can check out step by step instructions at http://www.ourbestbites.com/2009/04/cadbury-egg-cookies.html
