Easter Egg Cookies

These cookies are a must make for the Easter Season. They are soft with a chewy centre. If you have left over mini eggs this recipe is perfect to use them up.

Ingredients:

¾ cup unsalted butter, soften
1 cup granulated sugar
½ cup dark brown sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 egg and 1 egg yolk
2 cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon baking powder
¾ teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups mini Cadbury eggs

Directions:

- Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Crush Cadbury eggs with a meat tenderizer or hammer. Place in a plastic ziplock bag and using the hammer/meat mallet crush eggs.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine butter and sugars until smooth.
- Add vanilla and eggs, mixing until smooth.
- On low speed, add dry ingredients to the batter. Increase speed slightly and mix until fully combined.
- Add Cadbury eggs on the lowest speed and mix just until incorporated. Do not over mix, to avoid crushing.
- Chill dough in fridge for about 15 minutes.
- Scoop onto baking sheets and bake for 8-10 minutes until edges are golden brown and centers look slightly underdone.
- Let cool on baking sheet for 1 minute before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
