I can't believe Easter is already upon us and we will soon see it go. Easter has always been one of my favorite holidays. Not only do we celebrate Jesus dying on the cross for our sins and raising from the dead which is the most important reason that we celebrate, but oh to the pastel candy. For some reason candy taste better because the wrapping or candy coating is pastel or shaped in a egg form. Especially Cadbury Eggs. Cadbury Eggs have always been one of my favorite Easter candies. I always loved sucking out the creamy deliciousness then eating the chocolate. Its so good!!! While looking at Pinterest, I came across a recipe called Cadbury Mini-Egg Cookies. As the pregnant lady that I am, I was in the mood to bake. I know BK won't any of these and I will be the only one eating them. Ugh. Hopefully, little Vivy won't become diabetic! Actually on Monday I will find out the results from my gestational diabetes test that I took yesterday. Crossing fingers! On to the recipe.

Cadbury Mini-Egg Cookies:
1/3 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup sugar
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups flour
1 cup crushed Cadbury Mini-Eggs (I put them in a plastic bag and bashed them with a rolling pin being careful to leave big chunks)
1. Preheat the oven to 375. In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter and the sugars. Beat in the egg until well combined. Add the vanilla, baking powder and salt and mix well. Slowly stir in the flour and the Cadbury Mini-Eggs.
2. Form the dough into balls about the size of a ping pong ball and place on baking sheet that has been covered with parchment paper. You can place them directly on the sheet if you prefer. Bake at 375 for 8-10 minutes being very careful not to overbake.
3. Slide the parchment paper of the baking sheet directly onto a wire rack. Or if you didn't use the parchment paper, allow the cookies to cool for an additional minute or two on the baking sheet to prevent the soft cookies from slipping through the bars of the wire rack. Cool completely. Makes about 2 dozen.
Go ahead...you know you want to make some. P.S. it was literally an egg hunt to find these. I guess that's what I get for making these the last weekend for Easter candy :)
