I want to introduce you to my newest friend, chocolate cadbury egg cookies! With Easter only about a month away, I had to advantage of the wonderful Easter candy that is on the shelves! Easter takes the cake on the awesome selection of candy they offer! Way better than Halloween if you ask me!
However, the biggest decision I had to make for these cookies was choosing between the traditional Cadbury milk chocolate eggs, dark chocolate ones, or the shimmer eggs! Of course, my daughter was giving me grief for not picking the "unicorn-like shimmery ones", but my gut said to go with the traditional milk chocolate. Truth be told, all would have tasted great, but I guess I am just a boring mom!
These cookies are so easy to make and your pantry most likely will be filled with the ingredients. A soft and moist cookie, loaded with mini chocolate chips and mini Cadbury eggs! So rich and amazing! We may have to leave a few for Peter cotton tail!
