Easter Egg Hunt Cookies (filled with goodness!)


I don’t even need to tell you why I made these, right? I mean, look at them. How could they not be delicious? They have all the right ingredients: cookie, Cadbury Cream Egg, frosting and M&Ms. I’m drooling just typing that.

They were pretty easy to make and I can’t thank Katrina enough for posting these. I seriously love her blog and all it’s yumminess!

Ingredients
· 2 ½ cups flour
· 1 teaspoon baking soda
· 1 teaspoon salt
· 1 cup Crisco (I used 1/2 cup Crisco and 1/2 cup butter)
· ¾ cup white sugar
· ¾ cup brown sugar
· 1 teaspoon vanilla
· 2 large eggs
· 24 mini Cadbury Eggs
 
Optional:
· Green frosting
· Jelly beans or M&Ms
 
Directions
1. Preheat oven to 350
2. Cream Crisco/butter, white and brown sugars, and vanilla in the bowl of your mixer. Add eggs one at a time.
3. In a separate bowl combine flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add flour mixture to wet ingredients. The dough will start to pull away from the bowl of the mixer.
4. Using about a tablespoon of dough wrap a mini Cadbury egg so it is completely covered. Place the cookie inside a greased mini muffin tin.


5. Bake at 350 for about 9 minutes or until golden. ***IMPORTANT*** Let the cookies cool in the pan for about 10-12 minutes until you can “twist” it out. Using your fingertips gently try to twist the cookie to remove it. If the cookie seems too soft like it will break apart wait 2 minutes and try again. If your muffin tin is greased the cookie will lift out whole after about 10-12 minutes. But do not let your cookie cool completely in the tin or it may adhere itself to the pan and then you will have to scrape it out.


6. Let cookies cool completely, top with frosting and jelly beans or M&Ms.

I have a friend who doesn’t like the Cadbury Cream Eggs. I know! That’s like swearing in church – it’s just wrong. So for her I made some with the mini Cadbury Caramel Eggs. Do everything the same (duh) but make sure there is more of the cookie dough on the bottom because the caramel will melt through and stick to the pan.

What do you think? And if you are wondering if the taste as totally delicious and heavenly as they look, the answer is a giant heck yes! They are awesome!

  55. Sugar overload!! Seriously, I’m drooling over here. Thanks for linking up to my Marvelous Mess party!!!! 🙂

  56. Those look way yummy!

  57. Oh my those look so incredibly bad. In a real good way of course. I was wondering, do you think a packaged cookie mix could be used to wrap the candy in. I ask because I’m not into baking with all that mixing, etc. I like it easy as I can make it. Thanks so much.

  58. These actually look so phenomenal! I love the way that when you cut into it there is a surprise inside. YUMMMMM!

  59. They are charming to look at and sound delicious to eat!!

  60. Thanks everyone. You all say “sugar overload” like it’s a bad thing =o)

    Patsy – I would think a store bought cookie dough would work just fine.

    And if you don’t like the Cadbury Eggs, fill them with anything. We put Hershey Kisses in some!

    And NO – they are not full sized Cadbury Eggs. Holy Smokes. But now that has me thinking……

  61. I highlighted these yummy cookies on my little blog at http://wadelmat.blogspot.com/
    Thanks! Mari

  62. yum!!! those look SOOOO yummy! My husbands favorite candies are the ones you included in the recipe… I think this may become his new favorite cookie!

  63. I’m already thinking of other things to add in the cookies, you’ll be featured in next weeks Make & Share.

  64. OMG! I think I just found by new favorite blog! lol I love love love kid recipes! So cute! I just posted a recipe for deviled egg chicks…you would probably love the idea.

  85. What a great idea! I hope to make these this Easter

    Can these be made in advance and frozen??

  88. Anonymous says:

    I made these and they are wonderful!! The only thing was that 1 Tablespoon was too much, as they overflowed and I had to cook longer which then caused the eggs to melt a little. However, they were still delicious and next time I will use just under a tablespoon 🙂

  89. Rosemary C says:

    Are these made in a mini muffin tin or regular?

  90. These are adorable.Definitely going on our todo list.
    upstatemissy@gmail.com

  91. Wow these are really cute and look like they taste good also…

  92. These look so good!Thank you for another great recipe.I will have to try these cupcakes for Easter.

  93. Sadly my cookies turned into an expensive mess. A tablespoon was way too much and they spread so far out that there was no way of getting them out of the pan without breaking them and therefore turning it into mush. Such a cute idea though.

  94. Very cute, I want to make them

    Kit3247(at)aol(dot)com

  95. Those are so much fun! Noted for next year.
