Instructions
Steps to Make
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Chop the Cadbury Mini-Eggs into smaller pieces, or crush them in a zip-top bag.
- Cream together the butter, shortening, brown sugar, and white sugar until smooth and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing in the vanilla extract thoroughly.
- Whisk the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl.
- Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
- Reserve some chopped Mini-Eggs for topping later, and mix the rest into the dough.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto a baking sheet, spacing them out. Dot the tops with reserved candy pieces.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, until edges are set but centers remain soft.
- Cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
