Time 32m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 ½ cups candy-coated chocolate eggs (such as Cadbury Mini Eggs®)
1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
½ cup cornstarch
½ cup confectioners' sugar
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup unsalted butter

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 275 degrees F (135 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Place chocolate eggs into a resealable plastic bag; seal the bag. Mash chocolate eggs with a heavy measuring cup a few times. You don't want them pulverized, just cracked into small-to-medium-sized pieces.
  • Combine flour, cornstarch, sugar, and salt in a large bowl. Add butter. Beat using an electric mixer until you get a workable dough. Add the crushed chocolate eggs and mix until well combined.
  • Roll dough into ping pong-sized balls. Flatten balls slightly and lay onto the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the very edges of the cookies start to brown, about 22 minutes.

The cookies were a bit dry. I think I would add an extra egg yolk next time.
