Cadbury Egg Cookies

• 1/2 cup Crisco (she used butter flavored)
• 1/2 cup butter
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 1 cup white sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1 1/2 t vanilla
• 1 t baking soda
• 1/2 t salt
• 2 1/2 cup flour
• 6 T. unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 10 oz. bag Cadbury Mini-Eggs

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. You'll need to chop up those Cadbury Eggs. I just put them in a ziplock bag and bang on them with a marble rolling pin until they look like the picture below. A hammer would work too.

Cream together the butter, crisco, brown sugar and white sugar. Add in eggs one at a time and the vanilla. In a separate bowl whisk together the flour, soda, baking powder, salt, and cocoa powder. Add the butter mixture to combine ,and then mix in the candies.

Drop onto a cookie sheet and cook for about 8-10 minutes (hers were always done in exactly 9).
