WHY USE CADBURY MINI EGGS IN COOKIES?
The quick answer to that question is that they are delicious! Cadbury Mini Eggs are a favorite Easter candy in the United States, hitting the stores in the weeks before Easter. They are egg-shaped chocolates coated with a sweet candy coating.
Cadbury chocolate is a higher quality chocolate than we Americans usually get with our candy, so it’s a special treat!
Here are some tips for using the mini eggs in your cookies:
- You can choose how crushed you would like your eggs to be. I like the crunch from slightly larger bits of chocolate and candy coating. You can do that by pressing down on the candies with the flat side of a large knife.
- If you would like smaller pieces of Cadbury Eggs you can place them in a plastic food storage bag and hit the bag with a rolling pin.
EASTER COOKIES MADE WITH PUDDING
The basic dough of this recipe comes together like any other chocolate chip cookie recipe. You start by mixing the dry ingredients together and then setting them aside.
Next, you will cream together butter with white and brown sugar until it’s light in color and fluffy in texture.
When you add the eggs and vanilla to the recipe, you will also add in a small box of instant vanilla pudding. The pudding will add delicious flavor and texture to your finished cookies!
After these ingredients are incorporated, you will mix in the flour mixture into the butter mixture.
Now it’s time to add the star of the show to the dough: the crushed mini Cadbury eggs! Fold these in with a spatula to make sure every bit of the cookie dough has some of the candy.
Use a 1 1/2 tablespoon cookie scoop to scoop the finished dough onto lined baking sheets. If you would like your cookies to stay rounder, chill the cookie dough balls in the fridge for a bit before baking.
