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, or you (gasp!) don’t like Cadbury Eggs, try these cookies with white chocolate or PB chips- they’re fantastic! 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 with a marble rolling pin until they look like the picture below. A hammer would work too. Go get a kid and put him to work.
You know the drill. 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 to the butter mixture to combine and then mix in the candies. And a little secret…if you want your cookies to look pretty like mine, save a few egg pieces and pop them on top of the cookies 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. They’re soft and fudgy in the middle and a little crisp on the edges with crunchy little candy bits throughout.

Makes about 4 dozen and are really tasty - and I don't even like Cadbury eggs!

Yes, they are really really good! I doubled the batch because we had to take them to people and it made six dozen but they were a little on the big side. Loved them.
