Chocolate Creme Egg Cookies

Can you believe I still have creme eggs left? It's crazy! I didn't want to just eat them all in one go so decided I would bake them into cookies. These turned out so good, and were all eaten on the same day! To find out how to make these, keep reading!

Ingredients (makes around 8-10 large cookies)

180g unsalted butter at room temperature.

300g Caster Sugar

250g Plain Flour

2 tsp Baking Powder

1 Egg

50g Cocoa Powder

5 Creme Eggs

Method

Cream together the butter and sugar until smooth and creamy.

Then add your egg, and mix well.

Add your dry ingredients and mix until you get a dough like texture. If it is too sticky, add more flour. If it is too dry, add a dash of milk.

Chop up your creme eggs into small pieces. I popped mine in the fridge for a while first so the 'goo' wasn't all sticky.

Mix the creme egg into your cookie mixture.

Roll into balls and pop onto a greased baking tray. Spread these out as they do grow quite large! I think mine were slightly too sticky but that didn't affect the final outcome, it just made my hands a lot messier!

Bake for around 12-15 minutes on 180 degrees C. When these come out of the oven they do not look cooked, they are still gooey. This is perfect. Leave them to cool for around 25 minutes and they will harden on the outside, but remain soft in the middle. So delicious. Enjoy!

Easy Easter Treats – Chocolate Nests

With Easter right around the corner, I thought I would talk about some of my favourite Easter treats and tell you how to recreate them. I always remember my mum making these every Easter. I think it was just an excuse to buy and eat mini eggs which is the same reason I am doing this today. These are so simple to make, and cost next to nothing to make. The hardest part is actually making them into cakes and not eating the mixture direct from the bowl!

Ingredients:

300g Chocolate (I used milk but feel free to vary this!)

1 bag of Mini Eggs

300g Cornflakes

Cupcake Cases

(Makes approx 12)

All you have to do to make these is melt the chocolate, and slowly fold in the cornflakes until they have a good covering of chocolate. Scoop the coated cornflakes into cupcake cases and add a couple of mini eggs to the top of them. Leave to cool and the cornflakes should stick together nicely, like little nests!

It really is that simple. These are great, and go down a treat with people of all ages – trust me!

Let me know if you’re making any Easter treats!
