2 tsp baking powder
Cadbury Mini Chocolate Eggs
2 tbsp milk
14-18 tbsp icing sugar
Food colouring of choice
Directions
- Cream together the butter and the sugar using a fork or spatula.
- I like to put the butter in the microwave for 5-7 seconds to soften it a bit.
- In a separate bowl, beat together the egg and the vanilla. Mix into the butter mixture. Mix well.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the flour and the baking powder.
- Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients.
- Knead the dough to fully incorporate all the ingredients.
- Cover and place in the fridge for 15 minutes.
- Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
- Pre-heat the oven to 325 degrees F.
- Using a tbsp measuring spoon, measure a tbsp of cookie dough, and roll it into a ball.
- Flatten the dough, place a chocolate egg in the middle, and roll back into a ball.
- Place the dough ball on the parchment paper and continue until half the dough is rolled into dough balls.
- Bake for 14-16 minutes.
- Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack.
- Continue with the remaining cookie dough.
- Whisk together 1 tbsp of milk and 7-9 tbsp of icing sugar.
- Whisk in 1 small drop of food colouring and place the icing in a small zip lock bag.
- Make the second icing, using a different colour of food colouring.
- Cut off a small corner of each zip lock bag and drizzle some icing on each cookie.
